Hasco promotes Markus Büngers to CEO 

Markus Büngers is the new CEO of Hasco Hasenclever GmbH + Co. KG, effective Jan. 1. 

Thomas Karazmann had been managing the company during the transition phase following the departure of longtime CEO Christoph Ehrlich in the summer of 2025. 

In his previous role as EVP - finance and administration, Büngers was involved in the strategic and operational aspects of all departments and helped shape the company’s global development.  

“I am delighted that we have been able to appoint Markus Büngers as the person we absolutely wanted to take on the role of CEO,” Karazmann said. “He is an experienced manager who knows Hasco very well and, thanks to his previous roles at renowned industrial companies, has extensive international management experience. With him, Hasco is in the best possible hands.”  

“I would like to thank everyone most sincerely for the trust they have placed in me to actively shape Hasco’s future in this important role. The challenges are great, but so is our confidence. Hasco has enormous strengths, excellent employees with a wide range of skills, and a clear, shared vision. We will consistently build on these strengths through dedicated hard work for the benefit of our customers,” Büngers said.
