With effect from January 1, 2025, Michael Karpe has taken over the sole management of GEZOLAN as the new CEO. Michael Karpe is taking over the baton from his predecessor Josep Roger, who is retiring after 25 successful years at GEZOLAN and the KRAIBURG Group. For GEZOLAN, this staff-wise development means continuity in the management, as Michael Karpe has been part of the GEZOLAN management team since the beginning of 2023.
Michael Karpe has been with GEZOLAN since 2017 and has played a key role in shaping the company's positive development in his previous roles. From his many years at GEZOLAN and other companies in the sports and leisure flooring sector, Michael Karpe also knows the industry and its challenges inside out. With his experience and personal background, Michael Karpe is the ideal successor to retiring CEO Josep Roger, who will remain with GEZOLAN in an advisory role as a member of the Board of Directors. To ensure a smooth transition, Michael Karpe and Josep Roger will work closely together in the first quarter of 2025.
"It is with great confidence and pride that I pass the baton to my longtime colleague and trusted right hand, Michael Karpe. Michael has been an integral part of the GEZOLAN management team for a long time and has developed the company professionally with his foresight and experience. I am delighted to know that GEZOLAN is in good hands," says retiring CEO Josep Roger to his farewell.
"I am looking forward to the new challenge and the trust that has been placed in me with my appointment as CEO. I am convinced that I will be able to make an important contribution to the positive development of GEZOLAN in my new role,"
Michael Karpe is looking forward to his new function.
