KOMMERLING's Succession Plan and Vision for the Future

profine Group has begun the process of recruiting a new managing director for the UK who will oversee a new investment programme to support the launch of the new System 76 platform including flush, casement and fully reversible variants, along with other business initiatives. In the interim it’s very much business as usual with all of the existing management team fulfilling their roles with full support from the group.

Dr Peter Mrosik, owner and CEO of profine Group commented: ‘We’re still devastated about the sad loss of our colleague and dearly respected friend, yet we are mindful that we must continue as a business. The senior management team in the UK will continue to run the day to day operations, with Brian McDonald taking temporary charge of all customer facing activities. They will also have the full and committed support of my senior business associate on an interim basis.

He continued: ‘We have moved quickly with respect to a succession plan and the recruitment of a permanent new managing director for the UK. This appointment will build upon the outstanding work of Stefan and the team in the UK and will form a strong platform for the implementation of our future investment and business plans in the UK.’
