Dürr Group (Southfield, MI) introduces Ken Zak as the new head of the Clean Technology Systems division.

Clean Technology Systems is responsible for the Dürr Group’s environmental technology business. In 2020, it achieved sales of approx. €400 million with around 1,350 employees.
Zak has been part of the Clean Technology Systems management team since October 2018. He joined Dürr through the acquisition of U.S. environmental technology company Megtec/Universal and subsequently drove the integration of Megtec/Universal together with Dr. Schmitt.
The new division head will focus on exhaust-air purification, noise reduction technologies, and growing the business in systems for the coating of battery electrodes. Worldwide demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries is growing within the automotive industry and other sectors.
