“Ziehl-Abegg is a family business and will continue to be so in the future,' said Dennis Ziehl, chairman of the Supervisory Board. 'This DNA has been moulded by my family over more than 100 years and will continue in the face of global change.”

Ley, who holds a degree in industrial engineering, has been active as the company’s COO since 2021. The experienced manager was also responsible for production, purchasing, central logistics, and processes. After completing his studies, he took on various management positions in the operational area. 

“With Joachim Ley (CEO), Wolfgang Mayer (CTO), and a successor for the position of CFO to be named as soon as possible, in future we will have an Executive Board comprising three members,' explained Ziehl.
