Johannes Samwer appointed as new Managing Director for Purchasing and Sales at lubricant manufacturer Rhenus Lub<\/h2>\n

M\u00f6nchengladbach, 1 February 2024 \u2013 Change in the management team at Rhenus Lub: With effect from 1 February 2024, Johannes Samwer (42) will take charge of sales, product management, marketing, procurement and logistics at the innovative family-run industrial lubricants company.<\/p>\n

After over 30 successful years of service at Rhenus Lub, the previous managing director, Meinhard Kiehl, is retiring. In his time with the company, Kiehl spearheaded key advances in not only the strategic orientation but also the operational implementation of sales, marketing and product management activities. Through his strong sense of identification with the company, he promoted a positive and inspiring corporate culture. \u201cWe\u2019d like to express our heartfelt thanks to Meinhard Kiehl for his dedication and loyal collaboration \u2013 and we wish him all the best in the next chapter in his life,\u201d says Dr Max Reiners, CEO of Rhenus Lub.<\/p>\n

Kiehl\u2019s successor, Johannes Samwer, has previously held various management positions at the speciality chemicals company LANXESS in Cologne for around 14 years, including most recently as Global Sales Director within the Material Protection Products business unit. In this role, he was responsible for the strategic orientation and management of operational units in sales and of external partnerships at the global level. His other positions at LANXESS included a several-year posting in the USA (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) to merge and lead a division of the Rhein Chemie business unit. Samwer holds a master of science in business administration from the University of M\u00fcnster and has reinforced his skills on an ongoing basis by attending management seminars at Harvard Business School and London Business School alongside his professional activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Johannes Samwer, we\u2019re delighted to have found a new Managing Director for Purchasing and Sales who brings with him extensive experience in the management of complex business divisions, a profound understanding of technical subject matter, and comprehensive skills when it comes to questions of strategic orientation and operational procedures,\u201d says Dr Max Reiners. \u201cTogether, we\u2019ll successfully push ahead with the strategy for growth and further development of our entire portfolio of metalworking fluids, lubricating greases and corresponding services in order to further expand our strong position as a sustainable added-value partner in Germany and in international markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
