Strategic Leadership Changes at Bender Industries

Bender Industries GmbH & Co. KG, a leader in smart electrical solutions, has taken a bold step towards future innovation with the appointment of Michael Breuer as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Nicole Bender as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). These appointments come as part of a strategic realignment designed to enhance the company’s position as a premier provider of electrical infrastructure solutions.

New Executive Team

Effective May 1, 2025, the new executive team aims to leverage their extensive experience and industry knowledge to drive Bender’s growth trajectory. Michael Breuer, who has been with the company for over 14 years and previously held the position of Vice President for the Asia-Pacific region, returns to Germany with a clear vision for the future. His background in service, sales, business management, and regional oversight equips him with a nuanced understanding of the market and customer needs.

Breuer’s objective is to enhance Bender's global relevance by emphasizing deep customer relationships. In his view, the key to staying competitive lies in understanding and catering to customers worldwide—an approach he plans to reinforce as CEO.

Joining him in the executive board is Nicole Bender, who takes on the role of CFO after prominent stints at Dentsply Sirona, Polytech Health & Aesthetics, and Siemens AG. With a strong finance background and a diploma in Business Administration, she is poised to guide the company through present geopolitical and climatic challenges. Nicole highlights the necessity for strategic agility, sustainability, and openness to new technologies such as AI in her plans for the company as CFO.

Transition and Future Plans

The transition comes amid the departure of previous executives, with Heinz Nowicki and Dr. Sven Hartung stepping down from their roles as Chief Sales Officer and CFO, respectively. The company extends its gratitude for their contributions during their tenure.

The newly formed management team emphasizes a forward-thinking mindset. According to Dorothea Bender Fernandéz, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board, their proven leadership and long-term strategic vision will be crucial in steering the company towards continued success in a rapidly changing environment. “We are excited about the perspectives and innovations that Michael and Nicole will bring to the table,” she stated.

Looking Ahead

As Bender Industries embraces this new phase under the leadership of Breuer and Bender, the focus will be on not only expanding their smart electrical solutions but also reinforcing their commitment to sustainability and technological advancements. With rising demands for smart technology and efficient electrical infrastructure, Bender is preparing to solidify its role as a leader in the industry.

The combination of extensive experience within the company and a fresh perspective from Nicole Bender sets a strong foundation for what lies ahead. As they navigate the complexities of global operations and market dynamics, Bender Industries remains dedicated to delivering safe, reliable, and innovative solutions to its clientele across the globe.

Through this strategic pivot, Bender Industries is set to forge a path toward revitalization and growth in a sector that is critical to modern infrastructural development.
