SCHOTT Solar Creates New Organization Structure

June 17, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

SCHOTT Solar announced that SCHOTT AG will wholly integrate its subsidiary SCHOTT Solarthermie GmbH into SCHOTT Solar GmbH. The company has also announced changes in personnel, which are a result of the structural changes. Dr. Gerrit Sames and Michael Harre move up into General Management of SCHOTT Solar GmbH. Dr. Nikolaus Benz and Christoph Fark will take over general management of the SCHOTT Solarthermie GmbH.

Dr. Gerrit Sames, currently Managing Director of the SCHOTT Solarthermie GmbH, moves to the General Management of the SCHOTT Solar GmbH. He will be responsible for Global Operations. In addition, Michael Harre has also been appointed into General Management, where he will continue to be responsible for sales and marketing.

Two long-term members of the staff of the SCHOTT Solarthermie GmbH will take over as Managing Directors: Dr. Nikolaus Benz will be responsible for technical and Christoph Fark for business issues. This purely organizational realignment will have no effect on staff members working in the business unit Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), which produces receivers for solar power plants at the locations Mitterteich (Germany) and Aznalcòllar (Spain).
