He shall take up this appointment at the end of 1998. <SNIP> Since 1984, Hanns-Peter Cohn has been the General Manager of Vitra GmbH, Weil am Rhein, which is an internationally operating furniture manufacturer. Earlier, Mr. Cohn, who is an educated businessman, held management positions at Olympia AG, Wilhelmshaven and its sales company in Frankfurt, as well as at Wang Deutschland GmbH and Rank Xerox GmbH. Mr. Cohn's main focus is on profit-oriented brand positioning and development. He has the reputation of being a consistent advocate of dealer distribution.

Our clear objective is to increase the innovation strength and profitability of Leica Camera and thus to serve the interests of our customers, employees and shareholders".
