The resignation of the chief operating officer of Ordeborg was responsible for the Saun lighting department.

Martin Brandt, COO and board member of the Ordebourg Group, has terminated his management committee contract and is scheduled to enter into force on July 31, 2014. It is expected to close on April 30, 2015. This is because the Ordenburg Group is currently planning to significantly change its business structure in the next three years.

The company’s board of directors also made major changes last year. In September 2013, CEO Harald Sommerer and another chief financial officer resigned due to analysis of company strategies.

Brandt was appointed as a member of the board on September 1, 2009 and was initially responsible for the operation and management of the lighting department. For many years, he has focused on Thorn Brand Management and Asian business. Most recently, he was responsible for group technology, operating lighting brands and corporate IT. Now these jobs will be taken care of by CEO Ulrich Schumacher and Chief Financial Officer CFO Karin Sonnenmoser.
