Together with Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Alfred Link, he will lead the company into its next stage of strategic growth. Dr. Huber succeeds Dr. Dietmar Gnaß, who significantly shaped Polytec’s success over many years and is now retiring.

Dr. Huber brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in technology-driven industries. Most recently, he served as CEO and Managing Director of ITK Engineering GmbH, where he successfully advanced the company’s strategic positioning and growth.

Dr. Huber’s appointment marks a return to Polytec, where he held various leadership roles from 2001 to 2015. This unique combination of deep company knowledge and external perspective positions him to further strengthen Polytec’s innovation leadership and global presence.

Polytec stands for high-precision optical metrology and enables customers worldwide to drive innovation across a wide range of applications. Increasing demands for precision, digitalization, and efficiency in industry and research are shaping market developments. In a dynamic and internationally evolving technology landscape, Dr. Huber will drive the company’s strategic development and provide new momentum for sustainable growth.

“For me, returning to Polytec is truly special,” says Dr. Alexander Huber, CEO of Polytec GmbH. “My earlier years with the company shaped me both professionally and personally, which makes it especially meaningful to now take on this role. Polytec has a strong technological foundation and significant international potential. Together with Alfred Link and the entire team, we will build on these strengths and actively shape the company’s next phase of development.”
