MUNICH -- Guenter Lauber has been named president of Siemens Automation & Drives's electronics assembly systems division.

He succeeds Tilo Brandis, who will move to the U.S. to become president of PLM software supplier UGS, which Siemens acquired last quarter for $3.5 billion.
A Siemens veteran since 1986, Lauber has worked within the EA division in Europe and the Americas, most recently as executive vice president and general manager for the company's Siplace business in North and South America. Longtime Siemens executive and vice president of sales Jeff Timms now assumes the role.

Brandis has been president of the EA division since October 2003, when he succeeded  Gerhart Ott.
