Nassau, 2 December 2019 - Leifheit AG, one of the leading European brand suppliers of household products, announces changes in the Management Board.

Ivo Huhmann, since April 1, 2017 member of the Board of Management and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), departs from the company by the end of his contract term on March 31, 2020. The supervisory board thanks Mr Huhmann for his committed service and excellent work over the last two and a half years. "As a member of the Board of Management, Mr Huhmann laid decisive strategic cornerstones for improving process sequences and the IT system landscape. At the same time, he pushed forward the expansion of E-Commerce activities, implemented measures to improve customer service, laid the base for a company-wide pricing system and implemented an efficient coordination process between Sales and Operations. In doing so, he laid the foundation for profitable growth in the future", says Dr Günter Blaschke, Chairman of the Leifheit AG Supervisory Board.

As a part of the efficiency measures of the Leifheit Group, the Supervisory Board decided to reduce the size of the Management Board from three to two members, effective with the departure of Mr Huhmann. Henner Rinsche, Chairman of the Board of Management and CEO of Leifheit AG since June 1, 2019, will take over the function of the CFO in personal union. In addition to Sales, Marketing and Human Resources/Legal/IP, he will also be in charge of the departments Finance, Controlling and Business Processes/IT in the future.
