Vecoplan AG Announces New CEO
Following Eric Jaschke’s appointment to Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in December 2025, Vecoplan AG has also strengthened its Executive Board leadership with Dr. Ralf Guckert taking over as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Guckert is confident that the company is still on course for growth, and is focusing its strategy particularly on digitalisation and customer proximity.
He has many years of experience in digitalisation topics in the industrial environment and in the strategic transformation of companies: “To future-proof Vecoplan AG, I intend to further develop our digitalization concepts. Our customer markets are always at the forefront of our minds,” says Guckert.
He succeeds Werner Berens as CEO of Vecoplan AG, who led the company since 2012, and resigned from the Executive Board on January 30, 2026 for personal reasons.
