The Meyer Werft shipyard’s management team of managing directors Bernard Meyer and Lambert Kruse is about to welcome a new member. Starting from May 1st 2012, Dr. Jan Meyer will join the management as a third managing director.
With this, the yard’s management will be rejuvenated and extended in order to meet the challenges of the hard international competition.
In the long term, the family business Meyer Werft, founded in 1795 and in the hands of the Meyer family for six generations, is preparing the handover to the seventh generation. Dr. Jan Meyer has been working for the family-owned business since 2008, most recently as the head of the Technical Offices for the entire construction process of the cruise vessels. This task will now be taken over by Mr. Philip Gennotte, who used to be the project manager for the Disney cruise ships built by Meyer Werft.
