Dominik Haider

Bernd Kolb

Effective January 1, 2022, Dominik Haider takes over the management of MANN+HUMMEL's HELSATECH and HELSACOMP. As the new Managing Director, Haider is to drive forward the business activities of HELSATECH, manufacturer for molecular filtration, and HELSACOMP, leading supplier of elastomer membranes. Bernd Kolb, Vice President Operations Life Sciences & Environment Europe, who temporarily assumed the areas of responsibility at the beginning of December, will remain part of the management team.

Dominik Haider has been with the MANN+HUMMEL Group since 2009. After working in project management and R&D at the Marklkofen site for around nine years, Dominik Haider moved to the Himmelkron site in 2018, where he took over responsibility for cabin air filter sales as Global Sales Director. At its Himmelkron site, MANN+HUMMEL produces particle filters for the automotive industry as well as molecular air filters for household applications, pharmaceutical production, clean rooms, and hospital operations.

"We are very pleased to have won Dominik Haider for the position. With his many years of strategic and operational experience in the filtration sector and his leadership skills, he will successfully continue the growth course of HELSACOMP and HELSATECH. Having Dominik, an executive from Himmelkron, taking over the management at the Gefrees site, underlines the common strategic path of both sites. I wish him, also on behalf of the MANN+HUMMEL management, every success in his new task," said Fua Nipah, President & General Manager Life Sciences & Environment at MANN+HUMMEL.

Change of name HELSATECH and HELSACOMP

At the turn of the year, another organizational change will take place at the Gefrees location: In the course of integration into the MANN+HUMMEL Group, HELSATECH and HELSACOMP will be renamed. From January 1, 2022, HELSATECH GmbH will operate as MANN+HUMMEL Molecular GmbH, while HELSACOMP GmbH will in future trade under the name comp! Elastomere GmbH.

"We are very much looking forward to the transformation and further establishment of our strong brands under the new management. The new company names once again underline the respective focus of the divisions and orientation on the market for filtration and elastomer membrane products. At the same time, the change of name strengthens the internal and external brand presence," Fua Nipah continues.
