Ziehm Imaging shifts management

Klaus Hörndler and Stefan Gutsch have taken over the positions of managing directors at Germany’s Ziehm Imaging, now that former managing director Jörg Ströbel has decided to pursue a different path.

Under Ströbel’s seven-year leadership, Ziehm expanded its international mobile C-arm technology market, according to the imaging device manufacturer.

Ziehm’s majority shareholder, Aton, will continue to financially support the company. According to release from the company, "Aton GmbH and Dr. Jörg Ströbel — mutually and amicably agreed to pursue different ways in the future."
