Lonza Group said it appointed Wolfgang Wienand, who is currently chief executive at smaller Swiss peer Siegfried Holding, as its next CEO.

The Swiss life-sciences company said Tuesday that Wienand will join in the summer of 2024 and will replace Albert M. Baehny, who became interim CEO in October last year after the departure of Pierre-Alain Ruffieux.

Baehny will retire from Lonza following a transition period, the company said.
