Hugo Beck, a manufacturer of horizontal packaging machines, has appointed Simon Beck and Jonas Beck as Managing Directors. As grandsons of company founder Hugo Beck, their appointments mark the continuation of family leadership into the third generation.
The leadership change follows the departure of Timo Kollmann, who leaves after 20 years with the company to pursue a new professional opportunity. During his tenure, Kollmann contributed to innovation and the company's market development. "After many fulfilling years in the management of Hugo Beck, I've decided to take on a new professional challenge," he stated. "I'm confident the company is in excellent hands with the continued leadership of the Beck family."
Curt-Juergen Raiser will continue in his role as Managing Director until his planned retirement in October 2025. With nearly three decades at the company, Raiser's experience is expected to support a stable transition over the coming year.
The company, founded in 1955, has developed from a mechanical workshop into a supplier of packaging and automation systems. Its equipment is used internationally across various industries for film and paper packaging applications.
