Garbrecht Leaving KBA

DALLAS—Holger Garbrecht, KBA North America's president and CEO, has stepped down effective August 31 and has returned to Germany for what the press manufacturer termed family reasons. The company was expected to name a new North American chief executive shortly. Garbrecht joined KBA in October of 2007, replacing Ralf Sammeck. Earlier this year, he oversaw the North American division's move to Dallas, bringing the web and sheetfed units together in a single facility.
