Gauselmann added that production management will remain in the hands of Hans-Martin Grube, while Joachim Mohrmann will continue to be responsible for service. The group also said the reshuffle will not bring about any changes in the overall responsibility for the Merkur business segment.

A Gauselmann spokesperson added in a statement: “The new appointments will remove the dual function of the three previous managing directors with their respective management board divisions and distribute responsibility within the Merkur business segment across several shoulders.

“At the same time, this new structure will guarantee that the company will continue to make a significant contribution to the corporate success of the Gauselmann Group.”

Last September, Gauselmann Group reported a 6.7% year-on-year rise in revenue for its 2019 financial year, despite its business being impacted by the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Revenue for the 12-month period amounted to €2.56bn (£2.31bn/$3.04bn), up from €2.41bn in the previous year.
