Kundel joins the Supervisory Board

After more than 21 years on the Executive Board - including 16 years as Chief Executive Officer - Michael Kundel will not be renewing his expiring Executive Board contract. The outgoing Chief Executive Officer will take up a seat on the Supervisory Board of RENOLIT SE in May 2025.

“On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to sincerely thank Michael Kundel for his outstanding work and tireless commitment over the past two decades,” says Andreas Lang, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and co-owner of RENOLIT. “RENOLIT has developed successfully under his leadership. We are delighted that he will continue to support the company with his expertise on the Supervisory Board in the future.”

Anja Fischer, Chairwoman of the Advisory Board and co-owner, adds: “As shareholder families, we are very confident about the future. We are convinced that we will continue to develop RENOLIT successfully with the new Executive Board from January 2025.”

Michael Kundel began his career at RENOLIT in 1993 as Head of Controlling, was appointed to the Executive Board in 2003 and became Chief Executive Officer in 2008. Over the past two decades, he has played a key role in shaping the company's development. During his time, RENOLIT has evolved from a company with a very European focus into a veritable, internationally positioned group - and has been able to significantly increase both sales and earnings as well as the number of employees.

“The decision was not an easy one for me, as I have really grown fond of RENOLIT and its people,” says Michael Kundel, explaining his decision. “But after many successful years, it is ultimately a rational decision. I want to give the new Executive Board enough time to set the course for the future and lead RENOLIT successfully into the next decade.”

Michael Kundel will continue his voluntary work for the regional economy. He will remain Vice President of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) for Rheinhessen and will continue to promote the interests of the economy and vocational training.
