Stefan Laackmann will take over the position of Managing Director and Spokesperson for the Management Board at GoodMills Innovation GmbH on September 1, 2025. Alongside Jürgen Morawitz, he will oversee the company’s management and strategic development, with a particular focus on sales, marketing and application technology.

In Stefan Laackmann, GoodMills Innovation has recruited an extremely experienced industry leader. Throughout his career, he has held senior positions at well-known companies such as Lekkerland and CSM. In these roles, he has acquired in-depth knowledge of the entire value chain, from food wholesale and food service to the food manufacturing industry.

“For me, GoodMills Innovation embodies two key strengths: a strong innovative spirit and an unwavering commitment to quality in food production. The prospect of working with a strong team in a forward-looking environment to develop sustainable solutions that offer real added value for customers and consumers is extremely exciting,” says Laackmann.

He is particularly enthusiastic about the food industry because of its dynamism and direct relevance to people’s everyday lives. “My goal at GoodMills Innovation is to expand existing partnerships in a targeted manner, provide fresh impetus for creative new solutions and further consolidate our position as a reliable, reputable partner to the food industry,” he adds.

Laackmann’s predecessor Gunnar Steffek will return to Vienna at the start of the new financial year. In his role as Chairman of the Advisory Board, he will continue to closely monitor the development of GoodMills Innovation.
