Carl Brockmeyer will become chief executive of the Distribution & Trading business unit at thyssenkrupp Materials Services on 1 December, the company informs Kallanish.
He will take over from Detlef Schotten, who will retire from tk Materials Services in March 2026 after more than 30 years with the company, following a transition and handover period.
Brockmeyer has been working at international industrial companies for around 20 years and has extensive experience in strategic business development as well as in the areas of service and digitalisation. He has held various positions at Oerlikon and Atlas Copco.
Ilse Henne, ceo of tk Material Services, emphasises Brockmeyer’s contacts with various customer industries that are important for the company. This and “his many years of international experience, particularly in North America, will help us continue our transformation from a pure materials distributor to a service provider,” she says.
