Wittur Holding GmbH, the Germany-based international elevator components supplier, has appointed Udo Aull as CEO. Aull succeeds Tom Stephenson, who steps down after more than three and a half years. “We are excited to have Udo join at such a critical time to help lead the Wittur team into a new era and capture the enormous growth opportunities ahead,” KKR Director Andre Jakubowski said. Wittur is indirectly owned by funds, clients and accounts managed and advised by KKR.
