Björn Twiehaus studied mechanical engineering and additionally completed a degree in business administration. “First of all, I would like to thank Jürgen
Koopsingraven, who has successfully led WAGO while serving as both CEO and CFO with great dedication and will now be able to fully focus on his responsibilities as CFO again,” says Christian Hohorst, shareholder and member of the Supervisory Board of the WAGO Group. “As a family-owned company, we think in
generations, not in quarters. Our closeness to our employees and to our customers is what makes us strong. We are delighted to have found in Björn Twiehaus a leader who shares our values as a family business and combines deep technological expertise with international growth experience.” With Björn Twiehaus as the new CEO, the
WAGO Group completes its leadership team. In his new role he says: “WAGO stands for quality, reliability, and pioneering spirit in connection and automation technology. I look forward to shaping
