New CEO at Karlie Group

Karlie Group, belonging to the holding company Perusa, has announced that Dr Michael Perlitz has been appointed as new CEO. He succeeds Dr Angelika Westerwelle, who is leaving the company because of different views on corporate strategy.

Erwin van Tendeloo has been appointed chairman of the board and will thus put his many years of experience in the pet industry to use for the further development of the Karlie Group. At the same time, Perusa will invest a further €3 million ($4.1 million) by buying an additional package of shares priced above the average market price of the past few weeks.
