Maxcess, a global leader for automation in the web handling industry, announced that Alexander Haid will step down from his position as vice president and general manager for Maxcess Europe, effective April 1, 2025. After five years of dedicated leadership, Haid played a pivotal role in the integration of Fife Tidland GmbH and RotoMetrics, significantly strengthening Maxcess’ European presence and achieving key operational milestones.

Succeeding Haid in the role of VP and general manager for Maxcess Europe will be Markus Rall, a seasoned leader with a remarkable 30-year career in the packaging and machine building industry, both in Germany and globally. Rall has held leading positions as CEO of Carton Group GmbH, Polar-Mohr Gruppe, and MAN Roland AG, and brings a wealth of experience in managing complex organizations and driving growth in international markets.

The transition from Haid to Rall will begin on April 1, 2025, and will be completed within the next few months. Maxcess is confident that Rall will continue to build on the solid foundation Haid has established while leading the European organization into its next phase of success.

“We extend our deepest gratitude to Alex for his outstanding leadership and his significant contributions to Maxcess,” says Odd Joergenrud, CEO of Maxcess. “His leadership has been instrumental for Maxcess Europe. We wish Alex all the best in his future endeavors, both professionally and personally.”

“We are excited to welcome Markus Rall to the Maxcess family,” Joergenrud continues. “His experience and expertise in the global packaging and machine building industries, coupled with his leadership experience at Carton Group GmbH, Polar-Mohr Gruppe, and MAN Roland AG, will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and grow in the European market.”
