Maxcess, a global leader for automation in the web handling industry, announced that Odd Joergenrud will step down from his position as chief executive officer, effective immediately. Since joining Maxcess in 2019, Joergenrud has led the company through several significant achievements, including merging Maxcess and RotoMetrics, enhancing the global leadership team, leading two impactful business acquisitions, and increasing the company’s focus on new product development.
