New group structure for GEA

GEA has launched the optimised new group structure developed as part of its ‘Fit for 2020’ initiative, marking a fundamental shift both in its internal structure and organisation, and in its external customer relations. Starting immediately, the group is bundling and reporting the development and manufacturing of products and the provision of process solutions in two new business areas: equipment; and solutions. The new bundling into business areas of roughly equal strength promises greater operational synergies spanning technologies and applications, and promotes functional excellence by standardising processes.

“The new structure is designed to help us develop from a very good to an outstanding company based on a simplified, harmonised and more streamlined organisation. This means the maximum possible focus within each unit, with clearly defined responsibilities in terms of applications, products, technologies and services. In addition, the changes will safeguard and further improve our customer focus through first-rate innovations and services, rapid decision-making processes, uniform and co-ordinated customer management, and much more,” says Jürg Oleas, CEO of GEA.
