Schwarzm\u00fcller strengthens management and future orientation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freinberg, November 2025 \u2013 One year after merging with the KRONE Commercial Vehicle Group, the Schwarzm\u00fcller Group is reporting positive results: the partnership has significantly strengthened the company in terms of its strategic orientation, innovative strength and market presence. With the management team now complete, Schwarzm\u00fcller is setting the course for the next phase of its development. The experienced management team stands for foresight, growth and customer focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We have a management team that is technically strong and at the same time embodies the values of Schwarzm\u00fcller: reliability, partnership and enthusiasm for quality,\u2019 emphasises Beate Paletar, supervisory board member and shareholder of the Schwarzm\u00fcller Group. \u2018With this structure, we are looking to the future with confidence and are convinced that the company will further expand its position in the European market.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthened leadership with a clear focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bastian Litterscheid, the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) since August 2025, brings with him many years of experience in the commercial vehicle industry. His focus is on optimising production processes, increasing efficiency and developing customer-specific product solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 1 November 2025, Claus Artmayer took over the role of Chief Sales Officer (CSO). The Lower Bavarian from Mengkofen is responsible for sales, after-sales, service, marketing and product management. After almost three decades in the sale of capital goods, most recently as head of the municipal technology division at Beutlhauser, his focus is on close cooperation with customers and partners. \u2018I want to position Schwarzm\u00fcller for the future and further develop sales throughout Europe together with Krone,\u2019 says Artmayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its new management team, now consisting of Dr Valentin Clemens (CAO), Georg Eckmair (CFO), Bastian Litterscheid (COO) and Claus Artmayer (CSO), Schwarzm\u00fcller is focusing on clear responsibilities, sustainable structures and a common goal: customer focus, operational excellence and solid economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The new team is the ideal basis for further expanding Schwarzm\u00fcller’s strengths within the Krone Commercial Vehicle Group,\u2019 says Bernard Krone, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Bernard Krone Holding. \u2018The new management team combines experience, vision and the will to lead the company into a stable and successful future.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
