Berkeley, CA, November 8, 2021 – ARRIS, a California-based advanced manufacturer enabling the use of high-performance composites in mass-market products and industrial applications, today announced Hartmut Liebel has joined as the Chief Operating Officer.

Liebel’s extensive leadership experience, spanning 20+ years, further strengthens the executive team at ARRIS as the company continues to scale its global operations.
