He brings in-depth technical expertise and strong leadership skills that motivate and strengthen our teams. Together, we will continue to future-proof Harmonic Drive SE and expand our market position in an increasingly competitive environment.
Clear priorities for the new role Christian Reuter has formulated clear goals for his role as COO: "The development and promotion of our employees are essential building blocks for the long-term success of our company. My focus is on ensuring high performance, efficient and competitive production in Germany. The aim is to further optimise stable structures and give each department the opportunity to make the best possible use of its core competencies." Reuter also takes a clear approach to his role as a manager: "Leadership means taking responsibility and acting as a role model through transparency and consistent action. Targeted action and open communication are essential in order to successfully manage the entire company."
In his new role, Christian Reuter will be responsible for Production, Supply Chain and Manufacturing Technology.
