Hailo Wind Systems, one of the international technology and market leader for access systems and service lifts in wind turbines, has appointed Johannes Weg as new general manager. He will replace Dirk Mischnick, who has been managing the company fortunes since the beginning of 2013, on 31 March 2018.
Under Dirk Mischnick, who aside from Hailo Wind Systems GmbH & Co. KG is also responsible for the subsidiaries in the USA, Brazil and China, sales were multiplied across all locations. In the last years, he extended the successful internationalisation of the group which is crucial for the wind business, whereby he set great value on a strong team spirit and international communication.
With Johannes Weg, an experienced professional will succeed Dirk Mischnick. His professional career includes decades of working in various sectors, for example as technical director, factory manager and managing director of several companies. With his strong background, Johannes Weg is best equipped to meet the challenges that the wind energy business currently faces. Due to his experience in mechanical engineering and energy technology in Asia and North America, he will provide important impulses for the future direction of Hailo Wind Systems. “Hailo Wind Systems has developed very well in the last years,” says Johannes Weg. “However, legal requirements and the market environment strongly influence the wind energy business. Therefore, it’s important to assure our European business carefully and to develop our international subsidiaries and our product and service portfolio at the same time.”
Dirk Mischnick has laid the cornerstone for this strategic approach. “We’ve expanded our product and service portfolio as well as accelerated the internationalisation. I’m glad that I can place my position into the hands of someone under whose leadership this path will be consistently pursued,” says Dirk Mischnick.
