For the German market leader in manufacturing of machine tools the incorporation implicates important changes in strategic development: Leifeld now has a Corporate Governance, appropriate for the company’s significance and consistent growth. At the same time, the incorporation is internationally well-known and respected, enhancing global business activities of Leifeld significantly.

Leifeld’s Supervisory Board consists of the following members: Henning Giesecke (Chairman), former board member in risk management at HypoVereinsbank Group in Munich, Peter Wallner, industrial engineer, and Christian Unterseer, a private entrepreneur.

Apart from this, the shareholder structure of the company remains unchanged. Dr. Georg Kofler and Chairman Holger Hansen stay the exclusive shareholders of Leifeld Metal Spinning AG. The incorporation was not performed for raising capital. Leifeld rather proves itself capable of strong and sustained growth on the international stage and finances itself with its own resources. Moreover, the equity ratio increased tremendously in recent years.
