“The new structure of Leoni’s board of directors reflects the scope of the Group holding company’s remits and responsibilities and will simultaneously boost the management capacity of both divisions,” said Leoni chairman, Klaus Probst.

“To master the tasks before us, we have adjusted the board of directors to ensure, on the one hand, our ongoing restructuring can be resolutely applied and, on the other, that Leoni is entrepreneurially able to realise strategic growth opportunities.”
