We are pleased to announce that Prof. Paul Motzki has been Scientific Director at ZeMA since 1 January.

Together with Prof. Susan Pulham, who has held this function since April 2024, he will lead ZeMA in the future.

Prof. Dirk Bähre, Scientific Managing Director and Andreas Noss, Commercial Managing Director, leave ZeMA at their own request to devote themselves to new tasks. Prof. Dirk Bähre has been Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Saarland University since October and will remain with ZeMA as project manager in the field of manufacturing technologies. Andreas Noss becomes Administrative Director at Fraunhofer IZFP.

In recent years, both leaders have made a decisive contribution to the development and growth of our institute. We sincerely thank them for their outstanding commitment and the valuable impulses they have given.
