Succession: Holtmann Messe + Event
Managing Partner Claus Holtmann will gradually hand over responsibility for the Holtmann Group to his designated successor over the next few years: Starting in January 2019, Jörg Zeißig—a trade show professional with international experience and expertise in digitalization—will join the team. This marks the beginning of the next phase in the nearly seventy-year history of the joint subsidiary of Claus Holtmann and NürnbergMesse. From left: Peter Ottmann, Jörg Zeißig, Claus Holtmann.
"Our goal is to lead Holtmann successfully into the future - this includes the strategic planning of company succession," says Claus Holtmann, 62. "In Jörg Zeißig, we have found a leader who is perfectly suited to continuing the Holtmann Group thanks to his background, his sales orientation and his charisma."
Peter Ottmann, CEO of NürnbergMesse Group, led the search for a suitable successor solution with co-shareholder Claus Holtmann. "Jörg Zeißig meets all the desired requirements and impressed us in particular with his international trade fair expertise and his experience in the field of digitalization."
