NORMA Group SE, an international market leader in engineered and standardized connecting technology, has announced a significant restructuring of its Management Board. The Supervisory Board has decided to reduce the board from three to two members, with the CEO and CFO now comprising the entire Management Board. This move is part of the company's transformation towards NewNORMA, aimed at making the group leaner, more transparent, and more competitive.

In July 2026, the Supervisory Board was also reduced from six to five members after approval by the Annual General Meeting. The news was released via NEWMEDIAWIRE, a leading press release distribution service.

I wish him all the best for his professional and personal future. With the transformation towards NewNORMA, we are consistently aligning the company with its future size and organizational setup. This also includes an appropriately lean management structure.” Mark Wilhelms, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, added, “Reducing the size of the Management Board will make NORMA Group more agile and thereby enhance the Group’s competitiveness. This will enable us to better leverage the opportunities created as part of the transformation strategy.”
