Dettingen/Erms (Germany), March 14, 2024 +++ The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of ElringKlinger AG, Klaus Eberhardt, today has informed the company of his intention to step down from his position upon conclusion of the upcoming Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2024, in the interests of timely succession planning. Commenting on his decision, Klaus Eberhardt said, "ElringKlinger is very well positioned when it comes to pursuing its path of transformation. The product portfolio is tailored to the future, while the Group’s key financial indicators are solid and point in the right direction.
