    “I would like to thank Stefan Oschmann for an extremely successful tenure on the Executive Board of Merck KGaA. He has significantly shaped the company’s transformation into a globally leading science and technology company. Everyone who thinks of Merck KGaA, today, immediately thinks of science & tech – and this worldwide," said Johannes Baillou, chairman of the Board of Partners of E. Merck KG, Darmstadt, Germany. "The company’s extremely strong portfolio, its excellent company valuation and its bright future prospects are closely connected with Stefan Oschmann.

    “Peter Guenter has many years of experience and profound knowledge of the international pharma sector.

That is the perfect basis for future growth,” said Baillou.

    He is a member of DuPont’s Executive Board. Prior to that he held various global executive positions at DuPont in the U.S. and Germany since 2003. 
     
    “The COVID-19 pandemic has once again emphasized the potential of our Life Science business sector as a problem solver. We are happy that Matthias Heinzel, who is an internationally experienced manager, will join us to take over this important position in a strongly innovation-driven environment. Together with our global Life Science team he will further strengthen our successful activities,” said Baillou.
