Jörg Buchheim, President & CEO China, will leave the Hella KGaA Hueck & Co. by mutual amicable agreement effective 30 November 2015. In consultation with the Management Board, HELLA's Shareholder's Committee has now decided to discontinue the role of President & CEO China in the HELLA Management Board, thereby following the approach that has already been used for all other regions.

As a result, responsibility for the management of HELLA's Chinese activities will be fully transferred to the divisional leadership and HELLA's local corporate centers. Jörg Buchheim will therefore leave the HELLA Management Board and the company by mutual agreement.
