Powertech CEO steps down
Allied Electronics Corporation (Altron) has on Wednesday (2 May 2012) announced the resignation of Norbert Claussen, chief executive officer of subsidiary group, Powertech.
Claussen was also a member of the board of Altron and will step down with effect from 30 June 2012 in order to take up an opportunity to invest in a business unrelated to Altron.
Claussen joined the Altron group in 1996 as the chief executive officer of
Willard Batteries which expanded over five years to become the Powertech
Battery Group, comprising Willard Batteries, Dynamic Batteries, Sabat
Batteries and Battery Technologies.
In March 2001 he was appointed CEO of Powertech, a position which he has held to date.
“An announcement appointing Mr Claussen’s successor as chief executive officer of Powertech will be made to shareholders in due course,” Altron said in a statement.
