Canopy Growth today announced a leadership transition at Storz & Bickel, the German vaporization specialist within its portfolio. David Männer has been appointed Managing Director effective April 1, 2026, succeeding co-founder Jürgen Bickel, who is stepping back after 25 years leading the company.

Männer is a long-tenured insider, having spent 14 years at Storz & Bickel — most recently as Deputy Managing Director — giving the company continuity at the top as it enters its next chapter. Founded in 2001 and based in Tuttlingen, Germany, Storz & Bickel is a global leader in vaporization technology, holds ISO 13485 medical-grade certification and was awarded the Dr. Rudolf Eberle Prize for innovation.

"Storz & Bickel is the best in the world at what it does, and I'm thrilled to entrust its next chapter to someone I have complete confidence in," said Jürgen Bickel, the outgoing Managing Director and co-founder.
