Change in the Board of Directors of the Trützschler Group SE

The Trützschler Group SE has expanded its Board of Directors as of January 1, 2022. Alexander Stampfer (left in the cover picture) has joined the Board of Directors as a new member, assuming responsibility for sales, marketing and service.

Alexander Stampfer has a degree in textile business administration, with many years of experience in the textile machinery industry. Since 1993 he held various management positions in the areas of sales, product management and marketing, and also headed the Rotor Spinning Division of the Rieter Group. In 2017, Mr. Stampfer switched to the Nonwovens Business Group of the Autefa Solutions Group, where he was responsible for sales in South Asia and South America; he also helped establish the new Spunlace Division. Mr. Stampfer joined Trützschler in January 2021. “We are pleased that Mr. Stampfer, with his extensive expertise, is strengthening the Board of Directors of Trützschler Group SE, which was newly merged in November 2021. We wish him great success in his new tasks,” says Dr. Roland Münch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Trützschler Group SE.

The Board of Directors with its group-wide responsibility has only existed since November 2021, when the former parent company of the Trützschler Group, Trützschler GmbH und Co. KG, was merged into Trützschler Group SE. Since then, Trützschler Group SE acts as the controlling company for the entire Trützschler Group. The merger was carried out in view of increased requirements on transparency and reduction of complexity of the business processes resulting from the growth of the Group. Despite the new corporate structure, Trützschler continues to be family-owned.

The responsibilities of the Board of Directors of Trützschler Group SE as of January 1, 2022 are as follows: Dr. Dirk Burger (CEO, center in the cover picture) is responsible for Development and Design, Production, Quality Assurance, Purchasing and Corporate Communications; Dr. Ralf Napiwotzki (CFO, right in the cover picture) is responsible for Finance/Controlling, Human Resources, IT, Legal and Compliance; Alexander Stampfer (CSO) is responsible for Sales, Marketing and Service.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.
