Chairman of the TAKKT AG Management Board retires

The Chairman of the TAKKT Management Board, Georg Gayer (born 1946), will retire as chairman and board member of the Management Board on 31 May 2009.

Since TAKKT AG’s public listing in 1999, Gayer has been Chairman of the Management Board and has in the last 30 years substantially formed and influenced the Company’s development to an international leading B2B-mail order group for office, business and warehouse equipment in different management positions.
