Minebea Intec, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial weighing and inspection technologies, has announced the return of Frank Wieland as Chief Sales Officer (CSO). His reappointment underscores the company’s long-term strategy of strengthening international sales structures, expanding its regional footprint, and driving innovation in highly competitive global markets.
“Our markets are international, and our growth strategy reflects that reality,” said Dr. Karl Sommer, CEO and COO of Minebea Intec. “With Frank Wieland, we are bringing back an executive who combines many years of international sales expertise with a deep understanding of the weighing and inspection sector. His strong global network and proven track record make him the right choice for this pivotal role.”
Wieland has been closely associated with Minebea Intec for almost two decades, where he played a central role in shaping the company’s market success across multiple leadership positions. His previous tenure as CSO saw Minebea Intec consolidate its global market position, strengthen customer proximity, and introduce product innovations that contributed to steady growth. In his new mandate, Wieland will once again oversee sales, marketing, product management, and service. A major focus will be the expansion of Minebea Intec’s presence in emerging and growth regions such as Asia, alongside further development in established markets in Europe and the Americas.
“This is about positioning our next generation of solutions effectively in global markets while building efficient, customer-focused sales structures,” said Wieland. “Industrial weighing and inspection are at the heart of efficiency and safety for manufacturers worldwide. Our mission is to ensure proximity to customers, local responsiveness, and long-term trust built on innovation and service.”
The leadership change comes as Peter Grimley, former CSO, enters retirement. Grimley, however, will remain with Minebea Intec in the capacity of Vice Chairman, providing strategic input on specialized topics and continuing to advise the Board. This seamless transition ensures continuity in leadership while reinforcing Minebea Intec’s global ambitions.
Minebea Intec’s reappointment of Wieland reflects its emphasis on customer closeness, international scalability, and product leadership. As industrial markets become increasingly competitive, the company sees innovation in weighing and inspection technologies as a decisive differentiator. “Expanding our international presence and bringing tailored solutions to every region are critical steps for us,” Dr. Sommer noted. “Frank Wieland will play a central role in achieving this, ensuring Minebea Intec continues to deliver precision, efficiency, and safety to customers worldwide.”
With Wieland’s return, Minebea Intec signals its determination to continue expanding its reach, consolidating its role as a trusted global partner, and shaping the future of industrial weighing and inspection through technology, expertise, and customer-first strategies.
