The Klingele Group, producer of corrugated base papers and corrugated and solid board packaging solutions, is setting a clear course for the future. Effective January 1, 2026, Andreas Niethammer will take over the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) from Steffen Gehring, who will continue to support the Group as Treasurer under a phased retirement arrangement until the end of 2026.
Andreas Niethammer has been with the Klingele Group for 19 years, during which time he has held a number of key positions within the finance organization. His extensive professional expertise and in-depth knowledge of the Group’s structures and processes provide a strong foundation for further strengthening Klingele’s financial stability and long-term resilience.
He succeeds Steffen Gehring, who, after more than 20 years leading the Group’s finance function, will enter phased retirement on January 1, 2026. Mr Gehring will remain available to the company in a part-time capacity as Treasurer until the end of 2026 to ensure continuity during the transition.
“Over more than two decades, Steffen Gehring has shaped our company’s financial strategy with exceptional dedication and strategic foresight. We would like to express our sincere thanks for his outstanding contribution,” says Dr Jan Klingele, CEO of the Klingele Group. “By appointing Andreas Niethammer, we are promoting a highly experienced finance executive from within our own ranks, who understands the challenges ahead and will play an active role in shaping the Group’s future. I look forward to our continued collaboration and wish him every success in his new position.”
