In March 2024, SGL Carbon informed the public that CEO, Dr. Torsten Derr, will not extend his contract with the company, which expires in May 2025. Today, SCHOTT AG announced that Dr. Torsten Derr will take over the CEO position of SCHOTT AG in Mainz in 2025. The exact date on which he will take office has not yet been determined.
“I am leaving with a smile and a tear in my eye. My time at SGL was certainly unique and I will miss the dedicated and great SGL team. But I know that SGL is in good hands with CFO Thomas Dippold and the management team,” he commented on his upcoming move.
As soon as the exact date of his leaving as CEO of SGL Carbon has been determined and a new CEO can be announced, the Supervisory Board of SGL Carbon will inform the employees and the public immediately.
