Flender Appointing New Group CFO Christian Terlinde

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.

Drive manufacturer Flender has partnered with renewable energy provider ECO2GROW to purchase green electricity directly from wind and solar power plants. The selected wind farm runs with Flender gearboxes. The companies have signed several Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to acquire green electricity from renewable energy plants.

The German drive specialist Flender announced on January 9, 2024 that it has been awarded the platinum medal by EcoVadis, the world’s most renowned provider of sustainability ratings for companies. This places Flender among the top one percent of companies evaluated by EcoVadis.

The drive specialist Flender has been awarded the German Sustainability Award 2024 in the mechanical engineering category. The challenges posed by climate change, resource scarcity, species loss, and social division are intensifying, while business and industry skills in Germany are growing to combat these challenges.
