KBA has named Heinz-Joachim Neubürger as the new chairman of its supervisory board.

Neubürger (60) was elected at an extraordinary board meeting following the resignation of Dieter Rampl in September. A longstanding member, Rampl had been chairman since 2006.

Neubürger, a former chief financial officer at Siemens, was elected to the supervisory board at KBA’s annual meeting in June.

Shareholder representatives will propose Martin Hoyos (65) from Vienna to the register court in Würzburg, Germany, as a replacement. Dr Hoyos, an experienced auditor, is a former member of the board of directors at KPMG Germany and holds diverse supervisory board seats at medium-sized companies.
