His huge personal commitment has made the company a more professional organization and laid the foundation for further expansion. We wish Mr. Peksaglam all the best for his future career,” says Hans Neunteufel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Alongside his tasks as CEO, Cem Peksaglam was responsible for strategy, mergers and acquisitions, human resource, legal, compliance, real estate, investor relations, corporate communication and sustainability. In addition to that, Cem Peksaglam was responsible for the sales, service, logistics and marketing activities of the Wacker Neuson Group for several years until the Executive Board has again been extended by the position of Chief Sales Officer (CSO). The company will announce Mr. Peksaglam’s successor in due course.
