Aixtron's chief financial officer leaves firm

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Aachen, Germany says that chief financial officer Wolfgang Breme is leaving the group as of 31 May by mutual agreement and will pursue new career opportunities outside the company.

“The Supervisory Board approved the termination of his service agreement with effect as of 31 May and regrets Mr Breme’s departure,” says Supervisory Board chairman Kim Schindelhauer. “Over the past nine years, Mr Breme has contributed decisively to the successful development and financial stability with his high personal commitment,” he adds. “The Supervisory Board, Executive Board and the Aixtron team wish him all the very best for his future endeavors.”
