"We are extremely pleased that Markus Arendt has decided to lead our company as CEO," said Franz Richter, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Dr. Hönle AG. "He has demonstrated both his technical expertise and his leadership skills in various management positions for more than two decades.

He also brings the desired industry and customer experience, which he has gained in several technology companies."

Markus Arendt (57), whose management contract initially runs until April 30, 2027, has many years of experience as a managing director and division manager at internationally active industrial companies. Most recently, he was managing director of the German subsidiary of MKS Instruments, Inc., a supplier to the semiconductor industry listed on the NASDAQ. Previously, he worked at SUSS MicroTec SE for 15 years, where he served, among other positions, as head of the business unit Lithography and as managing director of SUSS Photonic Systems Inc., Corona, USA. The graduate industrial engineer earned his doctorate at the University of Heidelberg and the Karlsruhe Research Center, today's KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

"I would like to thank the Supervisory Board for their trust in allowing me to fulfill this important role in a dynamic medium-sized company," Markus Arendt said. "With its product and technology spectrum, the Hönle Group is already active in attractive growth markets.
