𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 After six years as a member of the Group Management Board and Global CFO of KOSTAL Group, Dr. Gregor Schmeken is handing over the finance function to Mathias Orschiedt as planned. The handover on 1 July 2026 is part of a succession plan that has been in the works for some time and ensures continuity in the financial management of our family-owned business. Dr. Schmeken will continue to support the transition in an advisory capacity until the end of July. The transition comes at a time when important milestones have been reached: the long-term securing of financing, the further development of governance and management structures, and significant steps towards modernising the organisation and service structures. Andreas Kostal, Chairman of the Management Board of KOSTAL Group: “Over the past six years, Gregor Schmeken has guided KOSTAL through a challenging phase with a high degree of professionalism, reliability and great commitment. Together with his team, he has laid important financial and organisational foundations for the future. We are very grateful to him for this. Mathias Orschiedt, an experienced colleague from within our own ranks, is taking over and will continue to lead the next steps with continuity, professional expertise and operational proximity.” We thank Dr. Gregor Schmeken for his extraordinary contribution and wish Mathias Orschiedt a good start and every success in his new role. #KOSTAL #FamilyBusiness #ChangeofLeadership #CFO #Finance #Governance
