ZIEHL-ABEGG relies on continuity

Chief Production Officer Joachim Ley takes over as Chairman of the Executive Board (CEO)

The spirit of ZIEHL-ABEGG as a successful family business will be maintained. So says Dennis Ziehl, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of ZIEHL-ABEGG SE . Chief Production Officer Joachim Ley, who has been with the company since 2021 and actively shaped its global growth, is now the new CEO of ZIEHL-ABEGG.

“ZIEHL-ABEGG is a family business and will remain so in the future,” says Dennis Ziehl. “This DNA has been shaped by my family for more than 100 years and will remain intact even in the face of global change.” The Supervisory Board has therefore decided to hand over responsibility for the entire management board to the successful Chief Production Officer Joachim Ley. Ley, who holds a degree in industrial engineering, had been COO (Chief Operating Officer) of the company since 2021. The experienced manager was also responsible for the areas of production, purchasing and central logistics and processes. Joachim Ley is 47 years old, married and has two children. After completing his studies, he took on various management positions in operations. Before joining ZIEHL-ABEGG, he was responsible for many years as a board member in a market-leading supplier company in the aviation industry. At that time, the center of his life was already North Württemberg.

In future, ZIEHL-ABEGG will be managed by a three-member Executive Board team consisting of Mr. Joachim Ley (CEO), Mr. Wolfgang Mayer (CTO) and Mr. Olaf Kanig (CFO).
