Weber Systems Group restructures management for the future

The leadership transition has been prepared long-term and is to be implemented in a structured manner over the coming months. With Yannick Weber taking over the CEO role, a key step has already been completed. As of January 1, 2027, Jochen Strauß, currently of Mlog Logistics GmbH, will also join the management as Chief Corporate Officer (CCO).

Succession with Clear Task Distribution

The company will continue to rely on a dual leadership with clear division of responsibilities: Yannick Weber will take over as CEO, managing the operational leadership of the corporate group as well as responsibility for the locations and production-related areas. Jochen Strauß, as CCO, will be responsible particularly for the administrative group functions and the further development of group-wide processes.

"It was important to me to arrange the succession in a timely and reliable manner. Yannick Weber is very familiar with our corporate group, our locations, and markets. With Jochen Strauß, we gain an experienced managing director who complements the future setup sensibly. I will continue to remain closely associated with the company," explains Christine Grotz, Managing Partner of Weber-Hydraulik GmbH.

Continuity and New Perspectives

Yannick Weber has been a member of the management team since 2024 and is responsible as Technical Managing Director for production and the areas close to the plant at all locations. In his future role as CEO, he is expected to combine this operational experience with overall responsibility for the corporate group.

"We will continue to lead the corporate group with a clear division of responsibilities and a shared focus on its long-term development. For our employees, customers, and partners, the carefully prepared transition and the new leadership setup primarily stand for reliability and continuity," explains Yannick Weber.
