Our Advisory Board: Experience, Oversight, and Strategy

Since 2011, an Advisory Board has been supporting the development of Schleicher Fahrzeugteile. The board consists of experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders and supports management as an independent sounding board on key strategic and operational issues.

The Advisory Board’s responsibilities include advising and overseeing management, supporting the development of executives, and evaluating major investment projects. When necessary, it contributes valuable business contacts and helps shape the long-term strategic direction of our company. The Advisory Board is appointed by the shareholders and is accountable solely to them.

The Advisory Board currently consists of four members. It is chaired by Dr. Roman Bauer, a senior partner at the H&Z Group, a management consulting firm specializing in procurement, performance, and restructuring. Mr. Helmut Kögel, Profit Center Manager at Hirschvogel Komponenten, contributes valuable insights for the company’s further development through his many years of experience in manufacturing and his responsibility for operational processes, including cost controlling.

Shareholders Rudolf-Martin and Stefan Schleicher, both former managing directors of Schleicher Fahrzeugteile, round out the Board. With their extensive experience in corporate management, they ensure continuity and underscore their continued strong commitment to the future of our company.

The Advisory Board typically meets three times a year for full-day sessions. In addition to the executive management, the department heads also participate in these meetings. Depending on the agenda, specialists from various divisions of the company are also invited to contribute their expertise and present current projects. In addition, the Advisory Board monitors the company’s financial performance in monthly meetings and closely oversees important decisions.

The combination of external expertise and a deep understanding of our company creates significant added value: opportunities are identified early on, risks are better assessed, and well-informed decisions are supported.

Our Advisory Board is an important sign of trust: It stands for responsible corporate governance, diverse perspectives, and working together toward a sustainable and successful future of Schleicher Fahrzeugteile.
