Positive succession arrangement: Dr. Matthias Jacob becomes new Head of Implenia’s Business Unit Buildings Germany
Dietlikon, 28 August 2017 – Implenia has put succession arrangements early in place for the planned departure at the end of the year of Hans-Dieter Steinbrücker, Head of its Business Unit Buildings Germany. Dr. Matthias Jacob will be taking over responsibility for the Business Unit.
With a doctorate in civil engineering, Matthias Jacob has many years of experience in the construction industry. Among other things, he held numerous management functions at Bilfinger Berger, most recently between 2007 and 2010 as managing director of its buildings division. In 2011, he took charge as technical managing director of Wolff & Müller Holding GmbH & Co KG, with around 2,000 employees and a turnover of around EUR 750 million.
Hans-Dieter Steinbrücker will be leaving the Group at the end of the year. This change is taking place as planned and was agreed when Implenia took over Bilfinger Hochbau. The Board of Directors and Group Executive Board would like to take this opportunity to thank Hans-Dieter Steinbrücker for his exceptional work as a manager and on the integration of the new Business Unit into Implenia Group. “We are very pleased to have appointed Dr. Matthias Jacob, a proven construction expert with many years of experience. He has an excellent network of contacts in Germany, and knows our building construction unit very well. I would like to thank Mr. Steinbrücker for his excellent work with us and I wish him all the best for the next phase of his life,” says CEO Anton Affentranger. By arranging a successor to lead the Business Unit this early, Implenia is setting the course for continued positive growth.
