A generation change is happening at GESIPA® as Sales Manager Jörg Penzel leaves the company and hands over the baton to Michael Münker, an SFS Group Germany GmbH employee.
After 12 years of dedicated service and a career spanning almost 40 years, Jörg Penzel will not be taking his well-deserved retirement on 30 June 2025, as one might think, but will be taking up a full-time position in the Federal Voluntary Service for a year.
During his time at GESIPA®, Jörg Penzel managed the sales department with great dedication and played a key role in shaping it. Even before joining GESIPA®, field sales was his great passion and the tool industry his professional home.
His determination to succeed, his pronounced helpfulness and his correctness have made him a role model for colleagues and employees. With his commitment and loyalty, he has made a lasting contribution to the company and provided many positive impulses.
The Management Board would like to express its sincere thanks to Jörg Penzel for his many years of dedicated service and loyalty. The entire GESIPA® team wishes him all the best, good health and personal satisfaction on his new path in life as he embarks on his upcoming voluntary service with the desire to "give something back" to society, as he himself emphasises.
In August 2025, Michael Münker will take over as Head of Sales at SFS Group Germany GmbH - GESIPA®, succeeding Jörg Penzel. Michael Münker is a trained plant mechanic and studied mechanical engineering. He has been with the company since 2020, during which time he has gained extensive management and sales experience as a plant manager, particularly in the industrial and automotive sectors.
With his expertise and commitment, Michael Münker will continue to drive forward the successful development of sales.
