Rudolf Hausladen, who became Beumer Group CEO in June, and Dr. Christoph Beumer, who led Beumer Group as CEO for more than 20 years and will remain involved with the organization as an advisory-board member, answered questions about the industry and current topics during a global media meeting in August.
"I want to continue to lead the company in the same tradition and spirit of the Beumer family," Hausladen promised.
Beumer Group is an international manufacturer of intralogistics systems for conveying, loading, palletizing, packaging, sortation and distribution across a wide range of industries, including bulk materials, piece goods and food/non-food.
Under the leadership of Dr. Beumer, the company has developed from a German mechanical engineering company into an international systems supplier and plant manufacturer with more than 5,000 employees and revenue of more than $1 billion, Long-term and far-sighted decisions, such as anti-cyclical acquisitions, have had a lasting positive impact on the business, including the acquisition of FAM Magdeburg, which expanded Beumer Group's portfolio in bulk solids technology.
"We are only successful with a deep understanding of our customers' business and processes," Hausladen explained. "This is the key to understanding their challenges and being able to offer the best solutions for them."
Hausladen wants to use this knowledge and also strategically align the organization's digital offering with growing market requirements. Customers could benefit from smart software solutions. The aim is to achieve the best possible results in optimizing customer processes, for example, in materials-handling technology. Data analytics are playing an increasingly important role in generating further information in real time.
"The demand for software solutions in intralogistics is immense and will continue to increase in the coming years," adds Hausladen.
