KURZ Hands Over the Baton

1 February, 2023 was a special day and a milestone in the history of LEONHARD KURZ – a pioneer in the mass commercialisation of holography for both security and decorative applications. On that day Walter and Peter Kurz, who had shared the position of CEO for many years, handed over the baton of leadership to the new CEO, Dr Andreas Hirschfelder.

Dr Hirschfelder has been part of the company for 26 years and brings in-depth experience as well as comprehensive knowledge of the challenges and needs of KURZ’s customers, the company says. The hope is that he will preserve the established while always moving forward and thinking ahead in order to continue offering sophisticated solutions in the future, it added.
