Eriez Announces New President and CEO

Eriez has appointed Jaisen Kohmuench as President and CEO, effective January 1, 2024. He succeeds Lukas Guenthardt, who retired at the end of 2023. This appointment is the culmination of a carefully planned succession strategy, with Kohmuench working closely alongside Guenthardt and the Eriez Board of Directors to ensure a seamless transition of responsibilities.

Kohmuench's journey at Eriez has taken him from his initial role in research and development as a process engineer to directing and expanding the U.S. Flotation group. He later assumed an expatriate position as Managing Director for Eriez-Australia before returning to the U.S. to manage all of Eriez' international businesses as vice president of international and then COO.

Over his many years at Eriez, Kohmuench has been instrumental in shaping global business strategies and driving profitable growth in magnetic, flotation and service operations. His depth of expertise is demonstrated through his prolific authorship of numerous technical papers and contributions as an inventor with over a dozen patents. Kohmuench's academic achievements include earning bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in mining and minerals engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
