Fanatec got a new CEO: Andres Ruff

More news from Fanatec as Andres Ruff has become the new CEO after the dismissal of Thomas Jackermaier last month.

On April 15th, the Supervisory Board of Endor AG appointed Andres Ruff as the company’s new chairman and CEO. Andres has extensive experience as well as a valuable network in the area of transformation and restructuring of medium-sized companies.

Andres Ruff said:

“Hello, Fanatec fans! I am thrilled to join Fanatec and work with this passionate team. Right now, my priority is to tackle delivery issues arising from overwhelming demand. Rest assured, we are diligently working to return to optimal operations. Once resolved, we’ll refocus our energy on crafting remarkable sim racing hardware.”

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Thomas Jackermeier, who founded the company and created many groundbreaking products with a lasting impact on the entire industry. His vision and innovative ideas were instrumental in shaping Fanatec into what it is today.

And we want to thank you, the sim racing community, for your patience. Your enthusiasm for Fanatec fuels our drive to keep pushing. Here’s to an exciting chapter ahead, stay tuned!

Let’s remember that Fanatec has been suffering serious supply problems in recent times and that there have been incidents in many shipments due to the Christmas campaign and the launch of the QR2 and the new Clubsport series. We talked about all this some months ago here.

  1. He said nothing about the problems with product quality with their new DD, DD+, and DD Extreme. They’re failing and customer support is overwhelmed by a design disaster. I’m going to make some popcorn and watch the dumpster fire.
