With effect from 1st July 2020, Tobias Hess will join the management board of Wasa AG. Hess studied electrical engineering, computer science and European business law and has more than 16 years of experience in the mechanical engineering and concrete block industries.

Most recently he was managing director of the Hess Group. "By a fortunate coincidence in November 2019, we had the opportunity to hold appropriate discussions with Mr. Hess about his joining us. We are very happy that, in him, we have been able to gain an absolute expert in the industry", says Matthias Bechtold, Chairman of the Board of Wasa AG.

Tobias Hess complements the management board of the sales company within the Wasa Group, which until now has consisted of Peter Webel and Matthias Bechtold. The focus of the new board member Hess will be the worldwide organization and management of the production board sales. He also complements the Research and Development department in order to drive forward technical developments in the area of Industry 4.0, among others.

The Wasa Group supplies production boards made of various materials as well as polyurethane moulds for the wet and precast industry and is active at two locations in Darmstadt and Neubrunn (Thuringia).
