Change of leadership at the BDG: Dr. Martin Theuringer succeeds Max Schumacher
The German Foundry Industry Association (BDG) welcomes Dr. Martin Theuringer as a new member of its executive board. Over the coming months, he will familiarize himself thoroughly with the association's work and get to know the industry, its member companies, and the structures of the BDG. In the fall, Dr. Theuringer will officially take over from Max Schumacher, who is retiring after three decades of successful work for the association, including twelve years as chief executive.

To ensure a smooth transition, both are working closely together. The official handover ceremony will take place on November 11 at the House of the Foundry Industry in Düsseldorf.
“I am delighted by the warm welcome I have received from the BDG and the new team,” says Dr. Martin Theuringer. “Now it's time to get to know the industry and our member companies even better – and then tackle the major challenges, especially those relating to economic policy, together.”
With Dr. Theuringer, the BDG gains an experienced and well-connected leader who will continue and further develop the association's work in challenging times.
The BDG looks forward to working together and taking joint steps to strengthen the foundry industry in Germany in the long term.
