"Dr. Stieler is a charismatic leader with an outstanding track record of more than twenty years of international experience in renowned German industrial companies with a global presence, especially in machinery and systems engineering", said Dr. Kurt Kinzius, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of KraussMaffei Group GmbH.

"Leveraging his expertise and track record, Dr. Stieler will advance the KraussMaffei Group, recognize and accelerate the company's growth potential and further strengthen its position in international markets", Dr. Kinzius stated.
