TAKKT AG announces future leadership change in the CFO position

Stuttgart, Germany, August 18, 2022. Claude Tomaszewski, CFO of TAKKT AG ("TAKKT"), informed the company's Supervisory Board at the end of June that he will not renew his contract, which runs until October 31, 2024. At its August meeting the Supervisory Board of TAKKT discussed this matter and is working together with Claude Tomaszewski on an orderly handover. The aim is to find a solution for the succession this year. Until then, Claude Tomaszewski will continue to perform his duties as CFO of TAKKT.

"In recent months, we at TAKKT have developed a fundamentally new corporate strategy and thus started an extensive change process with the greatest possible integration of the Group companies on the basis of new divisions and additional Group functions. In order to be able to successfully implement this undertaking in the long term, continuity in top management beyond 2024 is necessary. I am already now initiating the necessary change of leadership and will personally support it as good as possible," explains TAKKT-CFO Claude Tomaszewski.

"Since the end of last year, we at TAKKT realigned ourselves strategically and organizationally and have driven forward the transformation into a more integrated, customer-focused and growth-oriented company. Claude Tomaszewski played a key role in defining the new direction, for which I would like to thank him very much,” says Maria Zesch, CEO of TAKKT.

"I very much regret Claude Tomaszewski's decision, but I respect it and thank him for his extremely successful work so far. At the same time, his decision enables us to set the course at an early stage. Together with Claude Tomaszewski, we will now approach the handover in a structured manner," says Thomas Schmidt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of TAKKT.
