Mönchengladbach At the General Assembly, a total of three people were newly elected and six people were re-elected. Who is that and what tasks do they want to tackle now.

Unsurprisingly, Elmar te Neues (born 1970) remains at the top and has been re-elected President of the Middle Lower Rhine Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The entrepreneur is the managing partner of the Krefeld family business “J. Fink & Co”. The second term of office is now pending for te Neues. “I would like to thank the members of the General Assembly for their trust,” said te Neues after the election. “We will continue on the path of digitization and service orientation of our Chamber of Industry and Commerce, which we have already successfully taken.”

In addition, the re-elected President recalled the major challenges currently facing the Lower Rhine economy: “The consequences of the Corona crisis, enormous increases in energy and raw material prices, structural change in the Rhenish Revier, the energy transition, the shortage of skilled workers and digital change – all these topics will challenge us, be it as a political actor and representative of business interests or as a partner for companies in the region”.
