The Board of Directors of the Argo-Hytos Group AG has appointed Dr. Marcus Fischer as the new CEO. He succeeds Erich Hofer, who will be leaving the Group after more than 10 years, the last three of which as CEO.

Hofer has held the position of CFO since 2017 and CEO since 2021 and will leave the Argo-Hytos Group AG this month.

Fischer is not a new member of the team. He has been with Argo-Hytos for 17 years. He started as Head of Development in 2007, and in 2010 he joined the management of the Argo-Hytos GmbH in Kraichtal and simultaneously took on the role of the Group CTO. At the beginning of 2016, he took over the position of the COO of the Argo-Hytos Group AG and is responsible for both development and all of the Group’s production plants.

Fischer is an experienced technology and industry expert who is very familiar with the company’s markets, customers and suppliers.

“I would like to thank for the trust that has been placed in me with the appointment as CEO and I am very much looking forward to shaping the future of Argo-Hytos as the off-highway division of VOITH Turbo in these exciting times of technological change,” Fischer said.

Until further notice, Fischer will perform the dual function of CEO and COO.
