Brasseler rolls out employee and management guidelines

Lemgo, 04 March, 2024

The employee and management guidelines concretize our values and show what they mean for our cooperation in everyday working life.” (Bjoern Hartmann, HR Director)

Shaping togetherness as a team – under this motto, Brasseler developed guidelines in interdisciplinary project teams based on the corporate values, which aim at providing orientation in the everyday company life.

The guidelines are an important milestone in preparing the company for the future. “They clearly illustrate how employee orientation and a positive performance culture can go hand in hand,” says Anke Niehus, representing the owner family.

Over the past few weeks, the employee and management guidelines have been launched within the company in creative formats, including the company’s own cinema screenings of a film documenting the creation of the guidelines. The Brasseler managers will now work with their teams in interactive workshops to individually and specifically develop how the guidelines can be filled with life.

We would like to share the film about the development of our guidelines with you today.

Lemgo, 07 February, 2024

The medical technology group Gebr. Brasseler Lemgo announces a change of management in the Dental and Medical divisions at the beginning of the year. The changes are the result of an organizational realignment: the Komet Medical business unit will be strategically expanded to include Dental Implantology expertise. The “Custom Made” business unit, which was previously responsible for this field, will be merged with the Medical business unit. The aim of the family-owned company is to bundle core competencies, promote the positive market development in bone surgery and dental implantology and respond effectively to changing customer needs.

With this in mind, the Brasseler Group has restructured it´s management team.

Stephan Koehler, Chairman of the Management Board, assumed overall responsibility for the Komet Dental division on January 1. He has already been responsible for the Medical business unit since 2021. Stephan Koehler joined the Brasseler Group in 2017. As Managing Director, the internationally experienced manager is also responsible for Technology, HR and Supply Chain Management.

Klaus Ruebesamen, Managing Director of Brasseler, has been with the company for over 40 years and has played a key role in the success story of Brasseler and the Komet brand over the decades. At the turn of the year, Klaus Ruebesamen handed over responsibility for the dental business to Stephan Koehler. For the Dental business unit, Klaus Ruebesamen will drive expansion in selected Asian markets and contribute his experience and his network to the establishment of a Komet Academy for dentists and employees. The Jewelry Business Unit and the areas of Quality Management, Regulatory Affairs and ESG will remain under his leadership.

As General Manager of the Medical Business Unit, Jens Haverkamp will charge of the further development of the growth area in the field of general bone surgery. As a result of the merger with the former Komet Custom Made Business Unit, his area of responsibility will be expanded to include Dental Implantology as of January 1. Both business units have been growing at double-digit rates for years.

The graduate in business administration (MBA) began his career at the Brasseler Group in 1998 as Sales Manager and later Managing Director of a subsidiary for dental instruments, and from 2004 he was Sales and Marketing Manager of the Brasseler´s Medical Division. Since the foundation of the Brasseler´s Business Units in 2013 he has been responsible for the Medical BU.

Carsten Cieslik was appointed as the new Head of the Dental business unit on January 1 and will lead the largest business unit and the subsidiaries in the USA, France, Italy and Austria. Over 400 employees in Sales, Product Management, Marketing and Digital Services work on solutions for dental customers worldwide.

Carsten Cieslik has been with Brasseler for over 30 years. After training as an Industrial Business Management Assistant, he started off as Country Group Manager Export Dental and took over as Sales Manager of the Industry Division in 2001. From 2013, he was responsible for the Komet´s Custom Made division.

Topping-out ceremony for new building in Lemgo

Lemgo, 06 November, 2023

On October 20, we reached another important milestone this year: the topping-out ceremony for our new company building “Building 2022” in Lemgo.

It is an important component on our path to manufacturing excellence at the highest level: data-based, Industry 4.0 as part of our DNA, lean management. The transformation which began in 2018 is helping to expand our international competitiveness.

Stephan Köhler, Chairman of the Management Board, refers to this in his speech: “What counts for the future is not so much who we are today, but who we want to be in the future and what we want to achieve – 100 years of preparation for tomorrow.”

Around 200 guests gathered to celebrate with us despite the adverse weather conditions: Markus Baier, Mayor of the Old Hanseatic City of Lemgo, Chamberlain Frank Limpke, and numerous colleagues and partners from the planning team and the construction companies involved.

The largest group of participants consisted of the colleagues who will be moving into the building.

Kirsten Niehus, representing the owner family, emphasizes: “The new building reflects Brasseler’s values: the investment in Lemgo reflects our commitment to the city. This project was approached and has been implemented with passion. It shows our vision, with which we develop new concepts that are applied on a large scale. In this building, we are creating modern working conditions in which we hope you will feel comfortable. This is an important prerequisite for doing good work.”

Many thanks to all colleagues involved in this project!
