The two new additions to the management team, Dirk Thomas and Christian Sonner, are to help develop and implement the company's digitization strategy. The previous Managing Director Operations, Christian Huttenloher, has left the company.

Dirk Thomas, previously Commercial Director of Scanlab, has been part of the staff for over 20 years. As the new Managing Director, he is responsible for administration, controlling and human resources, as well as IT.

In addition, Christian Sonner, former head of development, has been appointed managing director. He has been with the company for nine years and, in his new role, will continue to drive forward the digitization of the product portfolio and the development of more highly integrated scanning systems.
