The Weber Food Technology management team was already strengthened last year with the addition of Michael Brandt as Managing Director of Technology. He is now followed by Dr. Michael Hausicke, who has held the position of Managing Director of Operations since February 2025. In his new role, he will be responsible for developing the areas of production, purchasing, quality management, and customs/export. “These company divisions are vital for our profitability and competitiveness. Michael’s objectives will be to ensure our profitable and sustainable growth, increase the flexibility of our production sites and drive forward digitization and automation opportunities,” explains CEO Tobias Weber.
Automation and digitization for food production
Weber Food Technology is committed to the highest quality, efficiency and technological excellence in the processing and packaging of food. With a strong focus on automation and digitalization, the company is actively shaping the food industry. In order not only to maintain this status quo, but also to further expand its market position, Dr. Michael Hausicke pays particular attention to quality assurance and development. “The quality aspect of all our solutions and services is particularly important to me, not the least because quality is an essential component of our company’s success,” emphasizes Hausicke. “For this purpose, we will establish processes across our locations that ensure the highest quality standards for our products. This includes maintaining existing standards as well as setting new benchmarks, so that Weber will continue to be seen as a quality brand in the market.”
From COO to Managing Director Operations at Weber Food Technology
There are several reasons why Dr. Michael Hausicke is the right person for this important position. The graduate industrial engineer completed his doctorate on the topic of strategic technology substitution for production systems and has been working in various production-related departments at Weber since 2014. In 2023, he took over the role of Chief Operations Officer (COO). In the course of his work at Weber, he was thus able to gain extensive insights into various departments and company divisions and build up a deep understanding of processes and the industry.
