New Managing Director at rubber granulate manufacturer
With effect from 1 January 2025, Michael Karpe has taken over as the sole Managing Director of GEZOLAN. He takes over the position from his predecessor Josep Roger, who is retiring.
For the company, which specialises in high-quality rubber granule solutions for sports and leisure flooring, this personnel development means continuity in the management team, as Michael Karpe has been part of the GEZOLAN management team since the beginning of 2023.

Michael Karpe has been with GEZOLAN since 2017 and has played a key role in shaping the company's positive development in his previous roles. Thanks to his many years at GEZOLAN and other companies in the sports and leisure flooring sector, Michael Karpe also knows the industry and its challenges inside out. Outgoing Managing Director Josep Roger will remain with GEZOLAN as a member of the Board of Directors in an advisory capacity. To ensure a smooth transition, Michael Karpe and Josep Roger will initially work closely together in the first quarter of 2025.
GEZOLAN and KRAIBURG Holding are confident that Michael Karpe will successfully continue the work of his predecessor in his new role. “It is with great confidence and pride that I hand over the baton to my long-standing colleague and valued confidant, Michael Karpe. Michael has been an integral part of the GEZOLAN management team for a long time and has developed the company professionally with his foresight and experience. I am delighted to know that GEZOLAN is in good hands”, says outgoing Managing Director Josep Roger on his departure.
“I am looking forward to the new challenge and the trust that has been placed in me with my appointment as Managing Director. I am convinced that I will also be able to make an important contribution to the positive development of GEZOLAN in my new role”, says Michael Karpe, looking forward to his new task.
