Freiburg (GER), 31 January, 2023 - Dr. Christian Pychlau is retiring at the end of January.Bernd Allgaier has been appointed as his successor at the Freiburg-based medical technology manufacturer.

Dr. Christian Pychlau has been Managing Partner of PTW Freiburg GmbH since 1996. Under his direction, PTW developed into an international group with three production facilities and more than 400 employees at 12 locations worldwide. During this time, the company transformed from a device manufacturer to a global market leader of dosimetry solutions. As a member of the third-generation owner family, Dr. Pychlau has been managing the company together with Dr. Tobias Schüle since 2017. Starting from February, Bernd Allgaier will take over his position in the dual leadership of the dosimetry company. The experienced engineer, who was previously head of product management, emphasized: “I am looking forward to the new task of continuing the successful course of the company together with Dr. Tobias Schüle and effectively meeting the challenges facing us in the global medical technology market.” Important topics such as the increasing market regulation, growing demands of digital transformation as well as the use of new technologies in radiation medicine will be driven forward with energy and innovation by PTW.

Double leadership shares responsibility

Within the management duo, Mr. Allgaier complements the commercially specialized Dr. Schüle with his technical knowledge and many years of experience in product development. While Bernd Allgaier will be, among other things, responsible for research & development, product management, production and logistics, Dr. Schüle is mainly in charge of sales, marketing, finance & controlling, human resources and the support of the 11 international subsidiaries. “With Bernd Allgaier, we have found the perfect successor from our own ranks for Dr. Christian Pychlau,” Dr. Schüle stated. Mr. Allgaier, who joined the company in 2000 as a product manager, knows the market and the customer environment very well.
