Komax Group Announces Strategic Realignment and Leadership Change

On April 1, 2026, Komax Group disclosed its strategic realignment to leverage emerging growth opportunities. In light of this, CEO Matijas Meyer has departed from the company, with Andreas Häberli, Chairman of the Board, stepping in as interim leader. This transition follows years of transformation marked by the merger with Schleuniger and a reinforced market presence in China.

The realignment aims to achieve profitable growth and enhance company value by capitalizing on strengths in industrial, infrastructure, and transportation sectors, while maintaining a significant role in the automotive industry. Increased demand for automated solutions in segments such as aerospace and data center construction is anticipated, shifting focus from automotive, which experienced a decline in Komax's revenue share.

The Board acknowledges Meyer's 19-year dedication, emphasizing his impact during challenging periods, including the pandemic and geopolitical tensions. A new CEO search is underway, with an independent governance structure in place during the transition.
