The new appointments follow Dr Luis Alejandro Orellano, who will leave the company on 30 June at his own request.
The decision to establish a dual leadership position is a logical next step to align the division even more consistently with customers and markets.
According to the company, the new EVPs will strategically divide responsibility for the different topics of the Technology Systems Division.
