After many years as CEO of MESSRING, the leading company in the development and manufacturing of crash test technology, Dierk Arp is entering his well-deserved retirement. In his almost 30 years as CEO, Mr. Arp has been a key figure in shaping the company and leading it to its current success.
In his time at the company, he has not only driven MESSRING’s expansion into international markets, but also strengthened the company’s innovative power. With his tireless commitment and strategic foresight, he has made MESSRING a pioneer in vehicle safety.
Dierk Arp on his retirement: “It has been an extraordinary journey to lead MESSRING, driving the development of pioneering technologies for vehicle safety. I am proud of what we have achieved, and I am handing over the steering wheel and an outstanding team into the capable hands of my successors.”
