New managing director at KLST

Markus Labruier has been managing director of Detlef Klinkhammer Steuerungen und Komponenten für Aufzüge GmbH, based in Zülpich, North Rhine-Westphalia, since 1 October 2025.

Mition GmbH Mittelstandsbeteiligungen acquired Detlef Klinkhammer Steuerungen und Komponenten für Aufzüge (KLST) at the beginning of 2025. Initially, the former owner Detlef Klinkhammer remained managing director, but he has now handed over this position to Markus Labruier as part of a planned succession plan.

The 54-year-old lawyer Markus Labruier has over 25 years of experience in marketing, sales and management in medium-sized mechanical engineering companies. Together with the KLST team, he wants to ‘continue the positive development of recent years with customer focus and forward-looking technology’.
