Christoph Gamper becomes Chief Executive Officer of Durst Phototechnik AG and all of its subsidiaries. He succeeds Dr. Richard Piock, who was in charge of the industrial inkjet maker for more than 20 years.
“We are very happy to have found a worthy successor to Dr. Richard Piock and his outstanding achievements,” said Christof Oberrauch, representative of Durst’s owner family and outgoing Chairman of the Board of Directors of Durst. “Under Dr. Piock, Durst managed the transition to a globally leading producer of industrial inkjet applications. It is now Christoph Gamper’s task to continue this development, to access new markets and to advance our internationalization.”

He has also held managerial positions with kdg AG and Koch Media.
