Peter Leischner Resigns from R. Stahl's Supervisory Board

Peter Leischner has stepped down from his role on the Supervisory Board of R. STAHL AG, effective immediately. Leischner, who joined the board in 2008, had served as Chairman from 2018 until early 2026. His tenure was marked by significant strategic shifts and steering the company through global crises. The Executive and Supervisory Boards expressed gratitude for his years of commitment.

In response to Leischner's departure, R. STAHL has submitted a court application to appoint Elke Eckstein as a temporary replacement until the next Annual General Meeting. Eckstein, with her extensive experience in industrial sectors, is expected to support the ongoing transformation of R. STAHL.

The 34th Annual General Meeting is scheduled to elect a permanent successor. Until then, Eckstein’s appointment will ensure the board’s proper function.
