Handover to Jörg Sturm
With Helmut Ahrens’ departure on 25 June 2026, there will be a change in the management of STAUFF Germany.
As already announced, Jörg Sturm took over the role of Chief Executive Officer on 1 April. A graduate engineer with additional business management qualifications, he has been with STAUFF Germany since January 2026 and brings with him many years of management and sales experience in the fluid technology sector.
The transition took place as part of a structured and carefully planned handover, ensuring the seamless continuation of operational and strategic tasks. Together with Carsten Krenz, who remains a member of the management team responsible for key areas in production and logistics, the focus is now firmly on the future development of the company.
