Dr Marc Wucherer is new Ziehl-Abegg CEO

GERMANY: Fan manufacturer Ziehl-Abegg SE has appointed Dr Marc Wucherer as its new CEO.

Wucherer, who has been on the board of directors of drive and control technology company Bosch Rexroth AG since 2017, takes over from Peter Fenkl who left Ziehl-Abegg at the end of May. Wucherer (52) will take up his new position in December.

A doctor of engineering with a degree in business administration, Wucherer started his career at Siemens AG. During a series of management roles, he was responsible for various business units both in Germany and abroad, and was president of the industry segment in North-East Asia.

He has been on the board of directors at Bosch Rexroth AG since 2017, with global responsibility for sales and marketing and, later on, for the factory automation segment as well. 

“With Dr Marc Wucherer as the CEO and today’s board members Olaf Kanig (CFO), Dr Sascha Klett (CTO) and Joachim Ley (COO), the Ziehl-Abegg group will have a strong, new and outstanding executive team,” said Dennis Ziehl, chairman of the Ziehl-Abegg SE supervisory board.
