The previous and the new executive board of Hosokawa Alpine AG (from left to right): Jürgen Wilde, Dr Antonio Fernández, Michael Kuhnen, and Kathrin Dörle – the symbolic handover marks the change of leadership at the start of 2026 |
The current executive board – CEO Dr Antonio Fernández and CFO/COO Jürgen Wilde – will step down from their positions. He will be succeeded by Michael Kuhnen as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Kathrin Dörle as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Dr Antonio Fernández and Jürgen Wilde have been instrumental in shaping Hosokawa Alpine for many years. Their time in office together stands for a phase of growth, stability, and innovation. With strategic vision, entrepreneurial responsibility, and human leadership, they have developed Hosokawa Alpine into an internationally recognised company.
With Michael Kuhnen and Kathrin Dörle, a young yet experienced duo is taking over responsibility for the further development of Hosokawa Alpine. Both have close ties to the company: Michael Kuhnen has spent 19 years in various management positions at Hosokawa Alpine and is returning after one and a half years outside the Group.
Kathrin Dörle has been part of the company for over 20 years – her appointment marks the first time a woman has joined the executive board.
In future, Michael Kuhnen will drive the strategic development of Hosokawa Alpine and will be responsible for the sales and operational areas as well as the international subsidiaries.
Kathrin Dörle will initially take over the Finance and Corporate Centre divisions.
