Straumann Holding AG, the world’s biggest maker of dental implants, named former finance chief Marco Gadola as chief executive officer, replacing Beat Spalinger after sales and earnings declined.
Gadola, 49, will begin the job before April, the Basel, Switzerland-based company said in a statement today. Chairman Gilbert Achermann will serve as interim CEO until Gadola rejoins the company, Straumann said. Gadola is currently CEO for Asia Pacific at Panalpina Welttransport Holding AG. Straumann shares rose the most in a month.
