Flender Appointing New Group CFO Christian Terlinde

The scene in the Flender hardening shop is spectacular: flames several meters high leap out of a cooling basin and light up the dark walls of the hall. Just seconds earlier, an employee used a crane to lift several red-hot gears from a hardening furnace into the basin. The gearbox components, heated to 840 degrees Celsius, are plunged into an oil bath.

Flender Group kicked off its 125th anniversary celebrations at Bocholt, Germany and this was followed by celebrations in all other countries represented by Flender. Flender India celebrated its 125th anniversary together with its customers, suppliers, vendors, senior representatives from community and all its employees.

Vanessa Hellwing has been appointed to the ANDRITZ AG Executive Board as of January 1, 2025. She will succeed Norbert Nettesheim as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on March 28, 2025.

Mathias Weyers (53) has resigned from his position as Member of the Executive Board and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Wilo Group with effect from 30 June 2024. Weyers, who can look back on a long and successful career at Wilo, is leaving the company at his own request to pursue new professional challenges. He will be succeeded by Dr Patrick Niehr (50), who previously served on the Executive Board as Chief Change Officer (CCO).

There was great joy when Mona Neubaur, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia, presented the NRW.Global Business AWARD 2024 to Flender CEO Andreas Evertz on June 24th. Flender was one of four winners honored at the 20th anniversary of the AWARD at the K21 Ständehaus in Düsseldorf.

When companies celebrate anniversaries, they often look back into the past. How did it all begin? What milestones were there? What successes and perhaps crises? Flender does the same. However, for the drive technology specialist, the 125th anniversary is primarily a reason to look towards the future.
