The Romanco Group have announced Jens Torkel and Linbin Zeng have been appointed joint Managing Directors of the Romaco Group with immediate effect.
Jens Torkel will take over as Speaker of the Board of Management while Markus Kimpel will remain on the Board as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
A new governing body comprised of the Managing Directors of Romaco’s production sites has additionally been formed.
After six years at the helm of the Romaco Group, the former CEO Jörg Pieper is stepping out of the company at his own request. In the future, he will support Truking Technology, the Group’s parent company, in a consultant capacity.
“On behalf of the entire Advisory Board, I would like to thank Mr Jörg Pieper for his tireless efforts and personal commitment to the Romaco Group, which has developed under his leadership into an internationally recognised, one stop solutions supplier for the pharmaceutical industry,” emphasised Yue Tang, Chairman of the Romaco Group’s Advisory Board and of Truking Technology.
Prior to joining the Board of Management, Jens Torkel was responsible for the Romaco Group’s worldwide sales and service organisation as Vice President Sales & Customer Service. He has held numerous executive and top management positions with various suppliers to the international pharmaceutical industry.
Among other things, he was Managing Director of Romaco Kilian for several years.
Linbin Zeng, an experienced investment banker who has acted as a link between the two companies ever since the merger of Truking Technology and Romaco in 2017, has now also been appointed to the Romaco Group Board of Management.
In the context of his work for Truking since 2015, he played a key role in the acquisition of Chinese manufacturer Watertown and the European Romaco Group, among others.
In 2018, he relocated to Frankfurt/Main after being selected to serve on the Romaco Group’s Advisory Board as Vice President Finance. Prior to joining Truking Technology, Linbin Zeng spent nearly fifteen years advancing from an analyst to the head of the investment banking department for two leading Chinese security firms.
