Changes to the Supervisory Board

Schrobenhausen, Germany – BAUER AG today announced that Prof. Dr. Bastian Fuchs and Klaus Pöllath are stepping down from the company’s Supervisory Board at their own request.

Dr. Martin Thormann and Dirk Pförtner, members of the Executive Board, expressed their sincere thanks to both of them for their commitment, valuable input, and the constructive cooperation in supporting the development of BAUER AG.

Following the departure of two Supervisory Board members, the Executive Board of BAUER AG has applied to the registry court to appoint Prof. Dr. Peter Bömelburg and Martin Saler as shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board of BAUER AG. The decisive factors in the nomination of the two candidates are their sound technical expertise, many years of management experience, and their profound knowledge of the industry. This combination will optimally complement the Supervisory Board.

Prof. Dr. Peter Bömelburg, born in 1964, studied business administration at Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg and earned his doctorate (magna cum laude) in consolidated financial statements and deferred taxes. From 1994 to 2024, he worked at Rödl & Partner, becoming a partner and auditor in 1998, managing partner in 2005, and global partner in 2011 with responsibility for international locations and owner-managed companies. From 2019 to 2022, he led the restructuring of the finance and tax department, among other things. Since January 2025, he has been an independent auditor and tax advisor specializing in entrepreneurial families. 

Martin Saler, born in 1978, began his professional career at V-Research as a project manager in development. In 2011, he moved to Liebherr as production manager before taking over production management at Liebherr Container Cranes Ltd. in Ireland from 2015 to 2018 and serving as managing director and plant manager from 2018 to 2019. In 2019, he returned to Liebherr-Werk Nenzing GmbH and was responsible for production as Managing Director/COO. From July 2025 to January 2026, he was Managing Director of BAUER Maschinen GmbH alongside Wulf Flos.

The departing Supervisory Board members welcome the planned succession by qualified and competent colleagues and wish the company, its managers, owners, and all employees continued success and all the best.
