Management Change at HNP Mikrosysteme in Schwerin

Dr. Matthias Jahncke is the new Managing Director of HNP Mikrosysteme GmbH. He takes over from Dr. Thomas Weisener, who is retiring after 27 years of leadership. Together with Dr. Gerald Vögele, Dr. Weisener developed the company from a Fraunhofer IPA start-up in Stuttgart into a globally recognized market leader for micro pumps.

HNPM: Growth, Locations, and New Leadership

Today, HNPM offers a wide range of micro dosing products for applications in life sciences, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and mechanical and plant engineering. The company started in 1998 with only five employees and now has more than 80. Its headquarters are in Schwerin, with additional offices in Strasbourg and Chicago.

On August 1, 2025, Dr. Matthias Jahncke officially became the sole Managing Director of HNP Mikrosysteme. He had already joined the management team in November 2024. Dr. Jahncke brings many years of leadership experience in mechanical engineering and a deep understanding of technology-driven markets. Early in his career, he set up an innovation incubator in Leipzig – an experience that strengthened his passion for technical innovation.

Opportunities for Talent in an Innovative Environment

With the change in leadership, HNP Mikrosysteme is entering a new chapter. Dr. Jahncke is not only taking over management duties – he is also setting a clear course toward innovation and growth. “HNP Mikrosysteme is one of the most exciting companies in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: a technology leader, internationally connected, and at the same time firmly rooted in the region,” he says.

This direction also brings new opportunities for employees and future applicants. The company continues to grow and is expanding important areas. Key positions are now open, for example in electrical and automation engineering as well as in sales support. With short decision-making paths, hands-on development work, and a culture of innovation, HNPM is an attractive employer – not only in the region but also far beyond.
