By further developing structures and processes, particularly at the company’s headquarters in Karlsbad, Germany, Zech aims to deliver measurable customer value and position the ultrasonic welding specialist for future growth.
In his new role, Joerg Zech brings extensive international experience in operations and sales.

“We are already well positioned in many areas. Now it’s time to take our operations to the next level and consistently deliver outstanding quality for our customers as we continue to grow as an organization,” said Joerg Zech. He added, “I see tremendous drive and strong collaboration throughout the company. That’s what convinced me of Herrmann Ultraschall from day one, and I look forward to helping shape the company’s future.”
Before joining the Karlsbad-based family business, Joerg Zech spent 25 years at SEMIKRON Danfoss, a global market leader in power electronics. After building global sales organizations and serving several years as a managing director abroad, he transitioned into operations in 2013, most recently serving as Vice President of Operations. At Herrmann Ultraschall, he joins Thomas Herrmann (Chief Executive Officer) and André Deponte (Chief Sales Officer) on the executive leadership team.
