Linde AG said Wolfgang Buechele will become chief executive of the German industrial-gas supplier, taking the former private equity executive to a company where he was once one of its most important clients.
Buechele, 54, will start at Linde on May 1, replacing retiring Wolfgang Reitzle, the Munich-based company said. In the two years since leaving Linde customer Borsodchem Zrt of Hungary, the German national has built his reputation at Helsinki-based water-treatment chemical maker Kemira Oyj.
