Recent changes at the Gauselmann Group will see Jürgan Stühmeyer join the group's management board with responsibility for Merkur sales.

He joins chairman Paul Gauselmann, and Werner Schroer, who heads technology in the specialist area for AWP machines.

It was one of a range of changes at the group, which has just celebrated its 50th anniversary. Rolf Klug now heads up Merkur-Spielothek and Merkur Casino for the board, while Thomas Niehenke continues to look after operations.
