On August 15, 2018, Alice Göpel will take over the managing director position of Goepel electronic. She replaces her father Holger Göpel, who has been managing the company since 1991. He is retiring but will still be available to the company as a consultant.
Alice Göpel studied business administration and has been with the company since 2008. As international sales manager, she was responsible for the worldwide sales of inspection systems.

Thomas Wenzel, also a managing director, remains as the head of the Embedded JTAG Solutions division.
Holger Göpel founded the company in May 1991 with former employees of the test and measurement department at Carl Zeiss. Throughout its history, the company has been able to continuously increase both sales and employee numbers. Today, the headquarters in Jena consists of four company buildings. In addition, the company has offices in the United Kingdom, United States, China and India.
