Koenig & Bauer AG recently held its 100th Annual General Meeting today at the Vogel Convention Center (VCC) in Würzburg. Under the motto ‘ChanGe and ChanCe’, the meeting marked a significant generational change in the Executive Board and a consistent focus on go-to-market strategies and profitability. As in the previous year, around 70% of the company’s share capital was represented at the physical event, demonstrating the great interest and commitment of shareholders to Koenig & Bauer.

A key highlight of the Annual General Meeting was the official handover of leadership at the top of the Executive Board. Dr Stephen Kimmich succeeds Dr Andreas Pleßke as CEO, effective from the end of the meeting. Dr Pleßke will assume special responsibilities within the Group until his scheduled retirement on 31 December 2025. This smooth transition underlines the continuity and foresight in the company’s leadership.
