With the appointment of its future Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Endress+Hauser Group has completed the comprehensive renewal of its Executive Board. The Supervisory Board has appointed Christian Mäder to succeed CFO Dr Luc Schultheiss, who will retire as planned on 1 February 2027 after 28 years with Endress+Hauser. To ensure a smooth transition, Christian Mäder will join the Swiss specialist in measurement and automation technology in mid-2026.

Christian Mäder is currently CFO of the Swiss Komax Group, a publicly listed manufacturer of cable processing machines. Previously, he was CFO of the Artemis Group, where he also served as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Artemis Asset Management Group, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Franke, a kitchen system manufacturer owned by Artemis.

He held other positions at the Swisslog Group, which is active in logistics automation, the consulting firm KPMG and the engineering firm Colenco, part of the former Swiss energy group Motor-Columbus. Christian Mäder is 56 years old and a Swiss citizen.

The future CFO of Endress+Hauser is business oriented and is known for his integrity and pragmatism. “As a family-owned company, we were looking for someone for this position who would take on responsibility beyond finance,” says Endress+Hauser Supervisory Board President Matthias Altendorf.

CEO Dr Peter Selders adds: “Christian Mäder brings with him extensive expertise and many years of experience as CFO, both in family-owned and publicly listed companies. He has an eye for detail while keeping the big picture in mind.”

Renewal of the Executive Board initiated

Endress+Hauser recently announced further changes to the Executive Board. Chief Information Officer (CIO) Pieter de Koning and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Dr Andreas Mayr will retire in the first half of 2026. Dr Mirko Lehmann has taken on the new position of Chief Technology Officer, which also includes the responsibilities of the previous CIO. Professor Katja Windt will succeed as the COO. Helena Svensson will become the Group’s new Chief Human Resources Officer.

Endress+Hauser is using the changes to the Executive Board to reorganize responsibilities at the top management level and thus sharpen its focus. In addition to CEO Peter Selders, the seven-member committee continues to include Chief Sales Officer Laurent Mulley and General Counsel Dr Heiner Zehntner.
