Switzerland based leading textile machinery manufacturer SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG has announced changes to the top management that come into force on 1 April 2016.

The actual CEO, Ernesto Maurer, is stepping down from his operative business functions and takes on the duties of the Chairman of SSM. His successor as CEO will be the actual Head of R+D and MD of SSM Giudici, Dr Davide Maccabruni.

Dr Maccabruni has been with SSM for the last 10 years and has strongly contributed to the development of the company over the last years. With his move to the top of SSM, the company aims to ensure continuity in the successful management.

SSM AG

The Schärer, Schweiter and Mettler companies merged in 1989 to become SSM. In 1999, Stähle-Eltex and SSM merged to develop air texturing technology and to strengthen their leadership position in the marketplace.

With HACOBA as its partner, SSM is also able to offer a complete range of sewing thread finishing machines. The company can also offer a complete portfolio for processed yarns.

Since 2012, SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler has taken over the activities of Giudici, Italy. Giudici’s strong market position in the field of false twist texturing of high quality fine count Nylon yarns, an application that complements SSM’s established leadership in air texturing, will further expand SSM’s business in the chemical fibre processing industry, the company believes.
