Chatou/France, 05 October 2021. On the occasion of VISION 2021 in Stuttgart, Macnica ATD Europe today officially introduced Mr. Shoichi Teshiba as the new CEO of all European Macnica operations. Shoichi Teshiba, who since June 2021 has been leading the former entities Macnica GmbH and ATD Electronique which became Macnica ATD Europe, is a long-term member of the executive management team from Macnica Inc., the parent company to Macnica ATD Europe.

“It is a great pleasure to follow the footsteps of Antoine Hide who founded ATD Electronique more than three decades ago. On behalf of the entire Macnica team I can assure all ATD partners and customers continuity in business culture and strategy”, said Shoichi Teshiba. “Even despite all restrictions caused by the pandemic in the past months both Macnica and ATD members have formed a team in a unique effort of merging all operations.”

Antoine Hide, founder and former CEO of ATD Electronique which he sold to Macnica Inc. will serve Macnica ATD Europe in a consulting position for a transition period. “In Macnica Inc. I found the perfect partner to integrate my former company since both enterprises share the same values. Under the exceptional challenges we have all been facing in the last 18 months I decided to extend my consulting role to assist on the few remaining tasks of the integration process.”
