Stabilus wishes to thank Mr. Klein for his outstanding contribution to the success of Stabilus.

With the appointment of Dr. Joachim Rauhut (61), a member of the executive board of Wacker Chemie AG, Stabilus gains a proven industry and capital markets expert for its supervisory board. He joined the management board of Wacker-Chemie GmbH in 2001 and supported Wacker Chemie's initial public offering in 2006. Previously, he had been serving in various leading corporate positions, including posts at Mannesmann AG and Krauss-Maffei AG.
