  • Lays groundwork for company's further expansion

Hanover, May 2014. Hanover-based ContiTech AG is beefing up its top management team: The company has appointed the head of the ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group, Hans-Jürgen Duensing, aged 55, to its Executive Board. He will assume his seat on the Board as of May 1, 2014. Duensing is taking on the new position in addition to his present responsibilities and will continue to report to the head of the Executive Board, Heinz-Gerhard Wente, aged 63.

Hans-Jürgen Duensing has been at ContiTech for over twenty years. Holder of a degree in business, he has headed the Northeim-based Conveyor Belt Group business unit since 2005. Under his guidance, various companies were integrated into the business unit, allowing the Conveyor Belt Group to move up to the top group of conveyor belt system suppliers worldwide. Prior to that, Duensing headed the Automotive Original Equipment segment in the ContiTech Power Transmission Group (PTG) for about five years. He was also on the PTG management team.

"In recent years, Hans-Jürgen Duensing's commitment has significantly contributed to the success of ContiTech. He also has a vast experience in the integration of companies," noted Heinz-Gerhard Wente. With a view of the planned acquisition of Veyance Technologies, this is particularly advantageous, he added. "I look forward to working with him on into the future and wish him every success," Wente continued.
