Loepfe Brothers Ltd., developer of integral quality control systems like sensors and monitoring equipment for yarn spinning, has appointed Daniel Link as the new chief executive officer (CEO), from May 1, 2018. Maurizio Wermelinger, the current CEO, will retire, but will remain as an advisor for a limited period of time to ensure a smooth transition.

Daniel Link is an experienced leader in the textile industry. He holds a Master in engineering from EPFL, Lausanne, and an MBA in general management from the University of St. Gallen. Daniel Link held several management positions in R&D and product management at OC Oerlikon, before he joined Rieter Management AG in 2007 as a senior project manager corporate planning & development. In the last eight years, he successfully served as CEO of Bräcker AG. With his well-founded skills and long-standing competences, he is the ideal person to join the team and drive the next phase of growth for the company.

Maurizio Wermelinger has guided Loepfe successfully over the past ten years, particularly during periods of difficult economic situations in the textile industry. As former production manager he focussed strongly on Swiss quality in manufacturing – an approach, which has been proven to be a big success. Under his aegis several new instruments and services have been successfully developed and integrated into the portfolio. (GK)
