That’s why we’re maintaining our shareholder-oriented dividend policy while consistently driving forward our growth and efficiency program. To achieve this, we’re focusing on targeted marketing campaigns and strong innovations. At the same time, we're building lasting efficiency and resilience through the FOCUS performance program.”

The Annual General Meeting elected two new members to the Supervisory Board of Leifheit AG: Stefan Bertram and Dr Hans-Jürgen Braun.

I would also like to thank the members who stepped down in spring 2026 – Ms Larissa Böhm and Dr Günter Blaschke – for their dedicated and successful cooperation on the Supervisory Board over the past few years.”

Stefan De Loecker was elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and Rüdiger Böhle was elected Deputy Chair as well as Chair of the Audit Committee in May 2026.
