Changes on Obi's board

Jürgen Schulte-Laggenbeck, the member of Obi's board with responsibility for finance, IT and logistics, has at his own request been released from his official duties by the supervisory board of the Deutsche Heimwerker Holding GmbH (Obi) so that he can face up to new challenges. Jürgen Schulte-Laggenbeck was appointed to the Obi board in September 2001. His departmental responsibilities will be taken over by Obi's CEO, Sergio Giroldi, until further notice.
