Robert Weber, 30, has been the new editor-in-chief of the "elektrotechnik" brand since May. He succeeds long-time editor-in-chief Reinhard Kluger, who celebrated his retirement at the Hannover Messe. Weber previously worked as Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the specialist medium for around a year and established the "Industrial Energy" section last year.



"With Reinhard Kluger, we are losing a well-connected veteran of the industry. With a deep insight into automation, he has understood perfectly how to build interesting editorial bridges between language and technology," emphasizes Publisher Bernd Weinig: "Always with a view beyond the horizon and always on the pulse of the times, he has significantly shaped the development of the media brand."



"With the long-term planned transition and the journalistic expertise of Robert Weber, the course of "elektrotechnik" has been set," comments Bernd Weinig: "The media brand is to be successfully positioned as a cross-media and efficient platform, as a neutral and credible knowledge provider and meeting place for a lively (specialist) community for automation and energy," explains Bernd Weinig.
