Owner families strengthen their position in the company and set the course for the future of ebm‑papst
In the future, the three owner families McCracken, Philippiak, and Sturm will be represented on the Supervisory Board of the ebm‑papst company group. This step emphasizes the commitment of the three families to the stable and sustainable further development of the technology leader.
In connection with the appointment of Chloë McCracken, Jan Philippiak, and Ralf Sturm on the Supervisory Board, the shareholders have decided to change the legal form of the general partner of the ebm‑papst group from a GmbH to a KGaA (limited liability company). This measure has no effect on the operating business, the employees, customers, or business partners of ebm‑papst. However, due to the change in the legal form of the general partner, the company will in future be known as ebm‑papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co. KGaA & Co. KG due to the change in the legal form of its general partner.
“We, the owner families, have decided to join the Supervisory Board in order to be even more closely involved in the strategic development of ebm‑papst. In this way, we will be able to strengthen our position in the company and secure the long-term future of our family-owned company – even beyond a generational change,” explained Chloë McCracken, Jan Philippiak, and Ralf Sturm jointly.
The management of the ebm‑papst group, headed by CEO Dr. Klaus Geißdörfer, expressly welcomes the decision of the shareholders to join the Supervisory Board and thus to get closer to the company.
As representatives of the owner families Chloë McCracken, Jan Philippiak, and Ralf Sturm will replace the previous Supervisory Board members, Dr. Bettina Volkens, Dr. Dirk Lupberger, and Dr. Eberhard Veit. Otherwise, the composition of the Supervisory Board remains unchanged.
“We would like to sincerely thank the departing Supervisory Board members for their valuable work and commitment over the past years,” added the shareholders.
With his change to the Supervisory Board, Ralf Sturm will end his operational role at ebm‑papst. He previously held an executive position at ebm‑papst for more than 17 years.
The owner families are looking forward to continuing to actively support the company in this new role and to continue to play a key role in shaping the ebm‑papst success story in the future.
