After Dr. Olaf Hoppelshäuser (MHK Group AG) left the AMK Board of Directors on August 11, 2024, Volker Klodwig was co-opted as his successor at the AMK Board meeting on November 13, 2024. Mr. Klodwig has been CEO of MHK Group AG since the beginning of 2023. Before that, he worked for BSH Hausgeräte GmbH for 32 years, most recently as Executive Vice President Europe / Sales & Marketing.
'The AMK would like to thank Dr. Hoppelshäuser for his valuable contribution and his dedicated work in the interests of the entire kitchen industry,' says Volker Irle, Managing Director of AMK.
Michael Mehnert, AMK board spokesman, emphasizes: 'As an association for the entire kitchen industry, AMK unites the activities and interests of industry and trade. We are therefore all the more pleased to welcome Mr. Volker Klodwig, a committed and experienced personality, to the AMK board. We are convinced that Mr. Klodwig, both as a person and in view of his expertise and the company he represents, is a great asset to the AMK board. We look forward to working with him.'
Markus Sander, who was elected to the AMK Board of Directors on February 1, 2016 and has headed it as spokesman since November 2020, will leave the AMK Board of Directors on November 30, 2024. 'On behalf of the entire AMK Board of Directors, I would like to thank Mr. Sander for his great personal commitment and the extremely trusting cooperation. Together we have achieved a lot for the entire industry,' says Volker Irle.
The second spokesperson function of the AMK Board will in future be taken over by Bernd Weisser, who was co-opted onto the Board in 2021 to replace Dr. Oliver Streit. Bernd Weisser will assume the spokesperson role together with Michael Mehnert.
According to the AMK statutes, the board has the option of electing up to three people as equal board members, who remain in office until the general meeting elects a new board. In addition, new board members can be elected if existing members leave before the end of their term of office.
The term of office of the current AMK Board of Directors normally ends with the AMK General Meeting in 2025.
The AMK Board of Directors will be composed as follows as of December 1, 2024: Matthias Berens (Bauformat Küchen GmbH & Co. KG), André Dorner (Julius Blum GmbH), Christian Gerwens (Miele & Cie. KG), Volker Klodwig (MHK Group AG), Michael Lehmkuhl (Paul Hettich GmbH & Co. KG), Michael Mehnert (BSH Hausgeräte GmbH), and Bernd Weisser (Nobilia-Werke J. Stickling GmbH & Co. KG).
