The Supervisory Board of PWO AG has unanimously reappointed Carlo Lazzarini as a member of the Executive Board and confirmed him as Chairman for an additional five-year term, effective January 1, 2027, according to a company announcement.
Karl M. Schmidhuber, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, praised Lazzarini's leadership, stating that he "has consistently developed the PWO Group in recent years, expanded its international presence and kept the company on track despite a market environment that has recently become very challenging." The board sees "continuity in leadership as an important foundation for the company's continued positive development."
The reappointment underscores PWO AG's commitment to stability as it navigates a volatile automotive industry.

PWO AG, headquartered in Oberkirch, Germany, is a technology leader in lightweight metal solutions for the mobility industry. The company focuses on three megatrends: electrification, safety, and comfort, producing over 100 million components annually across 11 global locations with 3,300 employees. Its powertrain-agnostic business model positions it as a key supplier for both traditional and electric vehicles.
The decision comes as automakers face supply chain disruptions, rising raw material costs, and the accelerating shift to electric vehicles. PWO's expertise in climate-friendly lightweight construction and high-precision forming is critical for reducing vehicle weight and improving efficiency, making the company a vital partner for manufacturers aiming to meet stricter emissions regulations.
Investors may view Lazzarini's reappointment as a positive signal, given his track record of navigating market challenges and expanding PWO's international footprint. The company's "local for local" production strategy ensures proximity to customers and agility in responding to regional demand, which is increasingly important amid geopolitical uncertainties.
