FORTEC Elektronik AG Supervisory Board Initiates Management Realignment to Strengthen Competitive Position

The Supervisory Board of FORTEC Elektronik AG has resolved to realign the company's executive management to strategically and technologically position FORTEC to sustainably secure its competitiveness in an increasingly dynamic market environment. This decision follows an ad hoc announcement published on October 6, 2025, which informed about personnel changes in the Management Board. The Supervisory Board will conduct a structured process to identify suitable candidates who will further develop the FORTEC Group in a market-oriented manner, setting a clear strategy for the future and establishing a long-term perspective for the coming years.

Christoph Schubert, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of FORTEC Elektronik AG, emphasized the company's solid financial foundation while acknowledging current market challenges. "FORTEC Elektronik AG has a solid financial foundation with an equity ratio of approximately 72% and net financial assets of just under EUR 20 million as of 31 March 2025," Schubert explained. "At the same time, however, the Company operates in a challenging market environment and has recently had to adjust its forecasts several times. Our goal now is to appoint a new Management Board so that FORTEC regains a clear strategic direction, repositions itself in line with market requirements, and thus lays the foundation for sustainable growth."

The management realignment comes as FORTEC faces increasing market pressures and the need for strategic repositioning. The company, which operates internationally in the distribution of standard solutions for power supplies, embedded systems, and displays, must navigate evolving technological landscapes and competitive pressures. The decision to restructure leadership reflects the broader challenges facing electronics distribution companies in adapting to rapid technological changes and shifting market demands.

During the transition period until new Management Board members take office, Ulrich Ermel will manage the company's day-to-day operations. To ensure stability and operational capability during this critical phase, the Supervisory Board will provide Ermel with experienced interim support for the areas previously overseen by Sandra Maile, whose departure was acknowledged with appreciation for her many years of service to FORTEC Elektronik AG.

The implications of this management realignment extend beyond internal corporate restructuring. FORTEC Elektronik AG, founded in 1984 and now serving as the holding company for subsidiaries in Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA, plays a significant role in the international electronics distribution sector. The company's strategic repositioning could influence supply chain dynamics for power supplies, embedded systems, and display technologies across multiple markets. Investors and industry observers will be watching closely as the new leadership team implements market-oriented strategies to drive sustainable growth and enhance competitive positioning in the evolving electronics distribution landscape.

This management transition occurs at a time when companies in the electronics sector face increasing pressure to adapt to technological advancements, supply chain disruptions, and changing customer demands. The successful implementation of FORTEC's new strategic direction could serve as a benchmark for similar companies navigating complex market conditions while maintaining financial stability.
