Legacy and Future Vision: A Dialogue with Hueck Folien’s Leadership

Following recent management changes, Hueck Folien (HF) CEO Dr Martin Bergsmann has assumed additional responsibility for Production and Technology. This comes after Manfred Durstberger stepped down from the Management Board on 31 March 2025, concluding 14 successful years as Managing Director in that domain. Durstberger will continue to oversee the rollout of the company’s new vapour deposition system until mid-year.

Holography & Optical Technology News® sat down with both Dr Bergsmann and Mr Durstberger for a joint interview, reflecting on HF’s innovation trajectory, sustainability strategy, and the outlook for optical security technologies.
