Peter Sieber Set to Retire from HIMA Group in 2025

Peter Sieber, a distinguished leader at HIMA Group, is gearing up for retirement on December 31, 2025, marking the end of an impactful twelve-year career with the company. However, he will remain engaged in an advisory role, ensuring that his extensive knowledge continues to benefit the organization.

A Legacy of Innovation in Functional Safety

Throughout his time at HIMA, Sieber has been instrumental in shaping the company’s growth and success. Known for his expertise in functional safety, he has driven initiatives that expanded HIMA’s portfolio of solutions, particularly in the realm of digital transformation for safety protocols. His commitment to advancing functional safety under the slogan #safetygoesdigital reflects a dedication to delivering meaningful solutions that provide significant value to clients.

Sieber’s contributions extend beyond just product development; he has played an important role in international standardization committees. His efforts have influenced the global progress of both functional safety and operational technology (OT) security, positioning HIMA as a leader in these crucial areas.

Leadership and Achievements

In his most recent position as Head of Strategic Marketing, Sieber set the direction for the company’s marketing efforts, focusing on the needs of a rapidly evolving market. Prior to this role, he managed international sales and represented the company in various standards initiatives, particularly increasing HIMA’s influence in China. Under his guidance, HIMA solidified its presence in the Chinese market, successfully scaling local business operations.

“Peter Sieber’s leadership has been pivotal in driving the digitalization of functional safety,” stated Jörg de la Motte, CEO of HIMA Group. “His dedication to establishing HIMA’s footprint in China and cultivating partnerships in the area is particularly commendable.”

Strategic Changes Ahead

As part of HIMA’s planned succession efforts, Sergej Arent will take on a new role overseeing the Customer Solutions Center (CSC). This includes key divisions such as Applications, the HIMA Academy, HIMA Consulting, and the newly created Solutions Management sectors: Turbo-Machinery Control (TMC), Safety Lifecycle Digitalization (SLD), and Pipeline Leak Detection Systems (LDS).

Ivo Hanspach will also step up, adding to his responsibilities as Head of Product Management by taking charge of HIMA’s norms and standards activities.

Strengthening Future Strategies

These organizational changes are designed to fortify HIMA Group’s standing as an independent technology solutions provider and a frontrunner in the digitalization of functional safety. The leadership transition comes at a time when the demand for advanced safety solutions is at an all-time high, and HIMA is poised to tackle these challenges effectively.

The entire HIMA family extends its gratitude to Peter Sieber for his years of dedicated service and wishes him all the best as he embarks on this new phase of his life. His influence on the company and the industry as a whole will undoubtedly be felt long after his departure.
