"I would like to thank Thomas Stetter for the successful and very collegial cooperation over the past years and I am looking forward to my new task. In a challenging market environment, we have managed to establish our company as an important partner in the field of thermal waste treatment by consistently focusing on customer requirements," says the new CEO, who is determined to further expand the positive business development of the past years. "The successful completion of our won projects to the satisfaction of our customers will continue to be a clear priority for me. In addition, deepening the value chain in close cooperation within the Doosan network and positioning Doosan Lentjes as a reliable one-stop supplier for the entire process of thermal waste treatment and sewage sludge incineration will be essential for me. Our company’s ability to offer proprietary technologies across the entire hot process chain of thermal treatment as a tailor-made partial or total plant concept is an important pillar of our business success."
