Jens Große-Allermann and Dr. Sören Hein are no longer standing for the WashTec AG Supervisory Board after ten years of successful and distinguished service.

Mr. Große-Allerman and Dr. Hein were both elected to the WashTec Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting on May 10, 2012 and can thus look back on a ten-year success story at WashTec. Contributing with help and advice as active members of the Supervisory Board, they have been instrumental in shaping WashTec’s development. Notable milestones in that success story include:

- Organic sales growth of some 50% since the end of 2011, from €290m to €430m

- Sustained EBIT growth in the same period from a €10m loss to positive EBIT of around €47m

- Sevenfold increase in the share price from around €7 in 2011 to €50 today

“On top of that came new global crises: the 2008/2009 financial crisis, the economic and coronavirus crisis from 2019, the supply chain crisis from 2021, exploding material and energy prices, and now the Ukraine war. WashTec surmounted all of these crises partly thanks to the professional support of Jens Große-Allermann and Dr. Sören Hein. With their considerable professional and interpersonal skills, the two outgoing Supervisory Board members stand out for their contribution to WashTec’s success in the last ten years. On behalf of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board, I would like to express deepest respect and appreciation for all they have done,” said Dr. Günter Blaschke, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of WashTec AG, paying tribute to them in his speech.
