In addition to the Hannover Messe in Germany, he will be responsible for the global industry and energy trade fairs as well as the CeMAT trade fairs in Germany and abroad.
In addition, Köckler manages all guest events, such as EMO, IAA Commercial Vehicles and Agritechnica, as well as the Guest Events & New Trade Fairs staff department.
Dr. Andreas Gruchow, Member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Messe AG, is responsible for the Woodworking/Woodprocessing and Floor Coverings areas of expertise.
Oliver Frese, Member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Messe AG, will remain responsible for the ICT & Digital Business competence area and will thus be in charge of all other ICT trade fairs abroad in addition to CeBIT in Hanover.
