On behalf of the Board, I’d like to thank Reinhard for his valuable contribution”.

– “Reinhard has been a key contributor to Business Plan 2026, laying a robust foundation that will support the next chapter of our journey. Among his many contributions, he played a vital role in introducing new ways of working, driving digitalization, and implementing significant structural efficiencies. I would sincerely like to thank Reinhard for his dedication, leadership, and valuable contributions to Nilfisk and wish him all the best in his future endeavors”.
Reinhard Mayer, Chief Financial Officer, comments:
– “Nilfisk is an outstanding company, and it has been a true privilege to be part of the team over the past four years. As we embark on the next phase of the journey and due to the recent changes, this feels like the right time for me to move on. Together, we have built a stronger Nilfisk, and I am proud to pass on the baton leaving the company in an even better position. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Nilfisk and its incredible people all the best for the future”.
