Dietmar Rohleder becomes CFO of Haupt Pharma AG

Rohleder takes over as Schwella focuses on production in Berlin

Dietmar Rohleder has been appointed chief financial officer of Haupt Pharma AG by the Supervisory Board with immediate effect.

Rohleder takes over responsibility for the areas of finance, accounting and controlling from the previous CFO, Norbert Schwella.
 As a member of the extended Board committee, Schwella will retain responsibilities for purchasing and IT. In addition, he will be focussing on his role as md of the Group's Berlin production company. Under his leadership, this company has undergone a radical reorganisation over the past two years and today it is Haupt Pharma’s most important site for the production of solid drugs in the OTC segment.

Rohleder has 19 years of working in a wide range of roles in Deutsche Bank's loans and corporate banking business. In 2005 he was appointed to the Board of what is now INVITA AG, where he has been responsible for managing and controlling the holding company ever since.

By appointing Mr Rohleder as the CFO to its holding company Haupt Pharma AG, INVITA AG is demonstrating its support for the strategic path the company is following with the aim of becoming the leading contract manufacturer and developer in Europe.
