Frickenhausen, 20 June 2018 – Jakob Breuer (51) has become the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Greiner Bio-One BioScience division in Frickenhausen. Breuer, an engineering graduate, was appointed to the post in April 2018, taking over from Rudi Vollmer, who is retiring after over 40 successful years at the company. As a member of the Greiner Bio-One GmbH management team, Breuer is now responsible for production and technology at this versatile technology partner for the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries.
