Wacker Neuson SE, a leading manufacturer of light and compact equipment, announced a change in its Executive Board. Christoph Burkhard, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), will step down by mutual agreement effective August 31, 2026, after over five years of service. He will be succeeded by Reinhard Frisch, who will assume the CFO role on September 1, 2026.
Hans Neunteufel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, thanked Burkhard for his contributions to the company's sustainable development and wished him well. Neunteufel also expressed confidence in Frisch, noting his extensive international experience within the organization. Frisch has been with Wacker Neuson since 2004 and has held various leadership roles, including CFO of Wacker Neuson North America and Commercial Managing Director of Wacker Neuson Produktion GmbH & Co. KG.
The transition comes as Wacker Neuson Group, which employs about 5,800 people worldwide and reported revenue of approximately EUR 2.2 billion in fiscal year 2025, continues to strengthen its leadership team. The company's brands include Wacker Neuson, Kramer, Weidemann, and Enar, serving customers in construction, gardening, landscaping, agriculture, municipalities, and industries like recycling and rail transport.
This executive change is significant for stakeholders, as it ensures continuity in financial leadership with an insider who understands the company's global operations. The appointment of Frisch, who has deep knowledge of the company's international business, may support Wacker Neuson's strategic goals and financial stability. Investors and industry observers will watch how the new CFO navigates the company's financial strategies in a competitive market.
