PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF JK HOLDING
Global Leader In The Tanning Industry Is Back Under Family Management
Windhagen, Germany – January 2006 – The JK Group, always an innovative company, forges ahead with high expectations for the future. Under previous leadership, the JK Group positioned itself internationally in order to ensure successful development as a worldwide leader for commercial tanning products. Now that this process is complete, the Kratz family has decided to become more involved in the executive management of the company.
Therefore, the senior management of JK Holding – which comprises the brands Ergoline, Soltron, Sundash, Global Sun Light, T.W. Tan and SunLync – will have a new structure. Effective immediately, Herman Nanninga, son-in-law of owner Walter Kratz, will take over the position and duties as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the JK Group. He will also be responsible for all financial activities and obligations. Herman Nanninga is married to the oldest daughter of Walter Kratz, Sabine. With a strong international background, Herman Nanninga has an MBA in economics as well as years of experience as a successful executive with many companies including the Shell Corporation, KNP BT, DSM and Pactiv Corporation.
In addition to Herman Nanninga becoming the new CEO, Jens-Uwe Reimers, who has gained extensive industry knowledge as Managing Director of Ergoline International, will become the new Chief Sales Officer (CSO) in charge of Sales and Marketing. Dr. Heinrich Komesker will remain Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the R&D, Production and Service divisions.
The new senior management is the basis to further strengthen and build upon the #1 position of the JK Group in the world. The new leadership of the JK Group has a clear focus on R&D, production and sales of innovative and technologically leading tanning equipment that provides a high degree of investment security for salon owners. In addition, they will put a strong emphasis on market and customer orientation. The history of the JK Group has shown that dedication to customers is a strong factor for success.
