Oliver Hermes joins TU Dortmund University Council

As part of the celebrations to mark the 248th Independence Day of the United States of America, Oliver Hermes, President & CEO of the Wilo Group, and US Consul General Pauline Kao met for discussions at the racecourse in Düsseldorf, Germany.

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).

The Wilo Group was honoured three times with the German Brand Award at a ceremony yesterday in Berlin. Gold in the category “Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation: Brand Communication – Storytelling & Content Marketing” went to the “Scoring for Sustainability” campaign, which Wilo launched together with Borussia Dortmund. Together, the sports club and technology company want to place the importance of sustainability even more firmly at the centre of public attention.

The fourth batch of the HIGH-TECH.NRW accelerator programme culminated in a Demo Day at Wilopark. After twelve weeks of mentoring and coaching, the founders of ten hardware-based high-tech and deep-tech start-ups from all over North Rhine-Westphalia presented their ideas to a large audience and took part in the competition.

The Wilo Group can look back on a successful IFAT 2024. For five days, the multinational technology group presented its sustainable and future-proof water and sewage solutions to around 142,000 visitors from almost 170 countries and regions.

The Wilo Group focuses all its business activities on sustainability. This is revealed in the multinational technology group’s latest sustainability report. Wilo recently defined a new, comprehensive sustainability strategy, which now takes precedence over all other functional corporate strategies. The report documents Wilo’s progress in realising ambitious targets by 2030.
