After five years in various executive positions at Siegwerk, Dr. Jan Breitkopf will join the board of management, where he will take over from Hugo Noordhoek Hegt as president Packaging European, Middle East and African (EMEA).
 
In this position, Dr. Breitkopf will be responsible for Siegwerk’s region with the highest sales where the company has continued to grow organically and via acquisitions over the past years. The 41-year-old, who joined Siegwerk in 2012, brings strategic and operational experience to his new leadership role. As head of Flexible Packaging, Dr. Breitkopf has already overseen the biggest business unit within the EMEA region for the past year, and he contributed to the company‘s strategic development as Head of Corporate Development from the day he joined Siegwerk five years ago.
 
He succeeds Noordhoek Hegt, who left Siegwerk in July 2017 after 12 successful years in the board of management to pursue other career opportunities.
