Interim Chief Executive Officer named for State Assistance by Backhaus - Regional Aid Temporary Leader Shift: Backhaus Assumes Position as Interim Manager
The state-owned enterprise in Redefin, Ludwigslust-Parchim, is set for a significant change as the search for a private operator begins. Matthias Munz, an experienced interim manager with a background in the dental industry and former managing director of Vielanker Brauhaus GmbH, has been appointed to oversee the transition.
The announcement of the change in operating model comes as the Agriculture Minister, Till Backhaus, expresses confidence that Munz will stabilize the operation and create a basis for further development. However, it remains unclear what exactly this change entails.
The Federation of Taxpayers Mecklenburg-Vorpommern welcomes the plans to find a private operator for the enterprise, while the CDU faction wishes to preserve the enterprise. The agricultural committee of the state parliament recently discussed the current developments at the state-owned enterprise Redefin, aiming to ensure the preservation of its character as a place of equestrian sports, horse breeding, training, and culture.
Despite the ongoing changes, events such as concerts as part of the Mecklenburg-Vorpompern Festival, training offers, and ongoing operations will continue as planned during the transition. The aim is to maintain the enterprise's normal operations while seeking a suitable operator through an expression of interest procedure.
The search for a new operator is expected to begin in a few weeks, with a permanent replacement for the management to be sought as part of the planned realignment. The previous acting managing director stepped down due to health reasons. Munz, with his extensive experience in leading organizations and previous advisory roles for the enterprise, is expected to play a crucial role in this transition.
The state currently contributes 1.7 million euros per year for the operation of the enterprise. The specifics of the privatization process and the future financial contributions, if any, from the new operator are yet to be determined.
For more detailed information about this state-owned enterprise, Matthias Munz’s role, or the privatization plans, it is recommended to consult local government publications, news outlets covering Ludwigslust-Parchim, or official statements from the enterprise or regional authorities.
The industry of finding a private operator for the agricultural industry in Redefin is set to expand, as Matthias Munz, an experienced interim manager, is appointed to oversee the change.
