The Supervisory Board of PWO AG has unanimously approved the reappointment of Jochen Lischer as Chief Financial Officer and member of the Executive Board for an additional five-year term, effective from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. This decision, made during the board's September 24, 2025 meeting, demonstrates the company's commitment to maintaining stable financial leadership during a period of significant transformation in the mobility industry.

The extension reflects the supervisory board's strong confidence in Lischer's professional capabilities and leadership qualities. Since joining PWO AG in 2021, initially as an authorized signatory and Director of Finance & Controlling, Lischer has progressively taken on greater responsibilities. His promotion to the Executive Board and CFO role on July 1, 2023, marked a significant step in his career trajectory within the organization.

Lischer's contributions to PWO Group's development have been substantial, particularly through his introduction of new financial instruments in finance, controlling, and treasury functions.

The financial tools implemented under his leadership have positioned PWO to better capitalize on its technological strengths in the competitive mobility sector.

Beyond financial management, Lischer and his team have been driving development across his areas of responsibility in alignment with global market standards. This strategic approach supports PWO Group's position as a global partner to the mobility industry, where the company manufactures over 100 million components annually across ten global locations with approximately 3,200 employees. The company's extensive experience spans more than a century in the industry.

PWO Group specializes in lightweight metal solutions that address three major trends transforming the mobility sector: electrification, safety, and comfort. As technology leaders in climate-friendly lightweight construction, high-precision forming, and related joining technologies, the company engineers complex metal components and systems at the forefront of technological achievement. Their solutions combine cost-effectiveness with sustainability, making them integral components in nearly every passenger vehicle worldwide.

The company's "local for local" production strategy, supported by innovative engineering expertise, ensures customer proximity and maintains the highest quality standards while delivering efficient, flexible, and reliable service globally. This operational approach aligns with PWO's guiding principle of "People. Planet. Progress," which strategically anchors responsibility and transparency in corporate management.

Lischer's contract extension provides financial leadership continuity as PWO continues to navigate the industry's transition toward electrification and sustainable mobility solutions.
