Following the retirement of long-serving managing director Rolf Anti, the position was initially vacant and was filled on an interim basis by commercial managing director Marco Geiler. The Offenburg-based family business has now filled this key role with Manfred Kohler.

The 55-year-old, who was born in Offenburg, had already spent several years as managing director at an industrial company. With his extensive expertise in sales, technology and business management, he is ideally placed to play an active role in shaping the future development of J. Schneider Elektrotechnik GmbH.

“After many years at the same company, I was looking for a new challenge. At J. Schneider Elektrotechnik, I was particularly impressed by the forward-looking markets, the innovative products and the company’s potential,” explains Manfred Kohler.

Together with Ben Huber, Managing Director of Development & Strategy, and Marco Geiler, Commercial Managing Director, Manfred Kohler will drive the company’s positive development forward. The aim is to further expand J. Schneider Elektrotechnik GmbH’s market position, develop innovative solutions for customers and consistently pursue the company’s sustainable growth strategy.

By strengthening its management team, J. Schneider Elektrotechnik GmbH is sending a clear signal of continuity and a forward-looking approach. The company therefore considers itself well-positioned to meet the challenges of changing markets and to continue its successful growth.
