"This move allows me to focus even more strongly on group-wide strategic topics in the future – and to prepare the next growth steps together with our business units."
Continuity in Collaboration – Clear Perspective for the Future
Christian Harder and Johann Strozzega share a long and successful history of collaboration, particularly in the Ceramic Printing market segment of the Durst Group. This shared history creates a foundation of trust for a seamless transition and consistent strategic development.

Strong Leadership – Strategic Focus
With this new appointment, Durst Group is strengthening its leadership structure in a key business area and laying the foundation for sustainable international growth. The company's management sees this as a clear signal of continuity, customer focus, and future security:
"With Johann Strozzega, we are bringing an experienced manager with a strategic compass to the top. My thanks go to Christian Harder – for his strong commitment and for actively shaping this transition. We do not fill leadership roles based on status but on substance and future viability – for our customers and the sustainable success of Durst Group," says Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group.
