Global Export Control & Customs Team Set Up in January 2022

Dear Colleagues,

More complex guidelines, a growing number of sanctions, stricter international specifications, trade wars, and new legal requirements subject the globally-active PI Group to greater risks. Therefore, we have also modified our export control and, in January 2022, set up a global, cross-locational team.

From Germany, the guidelines introduced will be rolled out in all subsidiaries, and the processes will be set up globally.

As 'Global Head of Export Control & Customs', Ramona Stuible will take on professional management of this area. She will continue to report to me as the person in charge of exports. This does not affect all the functions at the other locations. In her position, Ramona Stuible underlies the cross-group managerial authority for this area.

Additionally, we would like to welcome Alex Lopriore from PI USA, and Sara Shi from PI Changzhou, Asia to the team.

The German Export Control team consists of Frank Gehbauer, Sales Operations, Stefan Seidel, Sales EMEA, and Dirk Roessger, Global Head of Sales, Piezo Technology.

I wish the team the best of luck!

Best regards

Markus Spanner

Chief Executive Officer
