Wolf Lehmann Takes Helm as Gerresheimer's CFO Amidst Challenges
Wolf Lehmann has assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at Gerresheimer, stepping into a challenging situation following profit warnings and unsuccessful takeover negotiations. Today, Gerresheimer presents its Q3 figures, marking Lehmann's first day in the position.
Lehmann takes the helm as Gerresheimer's stock shows signs of stability, with optimistic dividend forecasts for 2025. However, market uncertainties and ongoing investigations maintain a tense situation, warranting a cautious yet optimistic outlook. The company's future, particularly its glass business, hangs in the balance as it prepares to present the results of its strategic review on October 15.
Despite recent setbacks, Gerresheimer has made progress with a groundbreaking ceremony for a new 4,000 m2 production hall in Wertheim. This facility, set to produce high-quality 'ready-to-fill' injection vials from mid-2027, signals the company's commitment to growth. Lehmann now faces the task of presenting a convincing standalone strategy, following a failed sale and change in leadership.
With Wolf Lehmann at the helm and Q3 figures released, Gerresheimer looks to stabilize its position and grow. The upcoming capital market day on October 15 will be crucial in shaping the company's future, particularly its glass business. Despite analyst criticism in key areas, Gerresheimer presses on with new projects and a renewed focus on performance.
