New leadership advance: Martin Repschlaeger takes over at Stiebel Eltron!
In a surprising turn of events, Detlef Neuhaus, managing director of the Stiebel Eltron Group since January 1, 2025, has asked for his contract to be terminated. The decision, which will take effect on July 15, 2025, was made for personal reasons. Neuhaus, who until then managed the renowned company's heating and air conditioning technology business, leaves a significant gap in the company, especially after he provided decisive impetus in energy management and sales development. The company's supervisory board regrets his decision, but shows understanding and would like to thank him warmly for his valuable contributions during the short time of his term of office and for his five years of service on the supervisory board.[meine-onlinezeitung.de]
But the change in management entails much more than just filling a position. The Stiebel Eltron Group has already found a successor for the vacant position in the finance department. Martin Repschlaeger, who has been part of the company since 2002 and was most recently in charge of finance, will take on the role of Managing Director Finance (CFO). With his many years of experience in the company, Repschlaeger will ensure that the strategic guidelines continue to be implemented and the company stays on track.[haustechnikdialog.de]
Corporate strategy and challenges
The move is not only motivated by Neuhaus' resignation, but also a response to the challenges Stiebel Eltron faced due to a significant decline in sales in 2024. The employees have to adapt to new leadership impulses. Not only strategic adjustments play a role here, but also legal and organizational aspects, while management steers towards a realignment of the company.[kanzlei-herfurtner.de]
As is generally the case with changes in management, careful planning will also be necessary here. From analyzing the current situation to selecting the new managing director to transparent communication internally and externally - all these steps are essential to minimize risks and ensure the company's ability to act.
A look into the future
With Dr. Kai Schiefelbein as Chairman of the Board of Directors (CEO) and Heinz-Werner Schmidt as Managing Director of Sales and Marketing (CSO/CMO), the company is receiving new impulses that could result in the first structural changes. Stiebel Eltron has a lot of experience in adapting to market changes, which the new management can rely on. The next period will show how cooperation within the new management team can be consolidated and what direction the company takes.
It remains exciting to see what steps the Stiebel Eltron Group will now take to successfully master the challenges in the changing market. The course has been set and the company is required to reach the next stage of development.
