INGENERIC announces change in Management Team


INGENERIC announces a change in its management team: Dr. Olaf Rübenach, co-founder of the company, will leave the company on June 30, 2023, to take on a new professional challenge within the parent company TRUMPF. With the start of the new fiscal year, Dr. Rübenach will bring his expertise and commitment to TRUMPF Laser Schramberg – and will thus remain part of the TRUMPF family despite a change in the company. Dr. Stefan Hambücker, also a co-founder of INGENERIC, will assume sole management of the company as of July 1, 2023.

INGENERIC was founded in 2001 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and has since developed into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of microlenses and lens arrays. The company, headquartered in Baesweiler, Germany, currently employs more than 100 people.

The outgoing Managing Director, Olaf Rübenach, has made a significant contribution to INGENERIC’s success since the company was founded and leaves behind a solid foundation for further growth. After more than 20 years, he looks back with satisfaction on his time at INGENERIC and expresses his happiness with the company’s growth to date:

“It was an exceptionally fulfilling and exciting time at INGENERIC. For me, INGENERIC was not just a company, but a passion in which I was involved from the very beginning. I look back with joy and pride on the successes we achieved as a team I look forward to now being able to contribute this valuable experience elsewhere for TRUMPF. INGENERIC will always have a special place in my heart, and I will follow the company’s further development with great interest.”

Stefan Hambücker, who will assume sole responsibility on the Managing Board on July 1, 2023, thanks Olaf Rübenach for his valuable contribution to business development:

“It is with great gratitude that I look back on INGENERIC’s journey together, which we started together with Olaf Rübenach. Together we have developed the company into a technology leader in the field of micro-optics. I am confident that INGENERIC will continue to be successful in the future and continue to provide innovative solutions for our customers.”

Stefan Hambücker emphasizes the continuity and commitment of the entire INGENERIC team, which is crucial to the company’s success. He thanks the employees for their dedicated work and their confidence in the future development of the company.

INGENERIC continues to consistently pursue its goal of offering high-quality innovative products and continuing to provide customer service at an outstanding level. The company is optimistic about the future and will continue its growth in the Branch.
