The Supervisory Board of Ziehl-Abegg has appointed Marco Altherr as the company’s new chief financial officer.
Altherr, an experienced financial expert with a long-standing career in leading industrial enterprises, will assume his position in May.
Supervisory board chair at Ziehl-Abegg, Dennis Ziehl, said Altherr will be supporting the company during a crucial growth phase.
“His experience in international industrial companies will be of great value to us,” Ziehl said.
Since 2011, Altherr has been part of the Freudenberg Group, where he most recently served as CFO of Freudenberg Performance Materials, overseeing all financial matters.
Previous positions at Manroland and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen further complement his professional profile.
Ziehl-Abegg is currently experiencing a phase of strong expansion, with investments in new production facilities, including a major project in the United States.
"We are consciously embracing the challenges of the future and focusing on sustainable growth," Ziehl said. "For this, we need experienced leaders who can implement long-term strategies with financial foresight."
Altherr will join the executive team alongside Joachim Ley (CEO) and Wolfgang Mayer (CTO). In addition to the traditional CFO responsibilities, he will also oversee IT and human resources.
