Schweizer Electronic AG announced a significant change to its executive leadership structure following the departure of Chief Technology Officer Thomas Gottwald. The company stated that Gottwald decided to leave prematurely for personal reasons, with his departure from the Executive Board taking effect on February 16, 2026. The Supervisory Board and Gottwald reached a mutual agreement regarding his exit, marking a notable transition in the company's technological leadership.
The areas previously managed by Gottwald will now be overseen by existing Executive Board members Nicolas-Fabian Schweizer, who serves as Chief Executive Officer, and Marc Bunz, the Chief Financial Officer. This redistribution of responsibilities comes at a time when Schweizer Electronic AG maintains its position as a provider of cutting-edge technology and consultancy expertise in the printed circuit board industry. The company operates state-of-the-art production facilities in both Schramberg, Germany and Jintan, China, supported by partnerships with other technology leaders in the field.
This leadership change has implications for the company's strategic direction in several key sectors where Schweizer's innovative PCB technologies are deployed. The company's products serve demanding applications across multiple industries including Automotive, Aviation, Industrial & Medical, and Communications & Computing. These technologies are characterized by their high quality standards, energy-saving capabilities, and environmentally-friendly features, factors that have contributed to Schweizer's reputation in specialized PCB and embedding solutions.
The timing of this executive transition may influence how Schweizer Electronic AG navigates evolving market demands in its core sectors. As a company with historical roots dating back to its 1849 founding by Christoph Schweizer and current listings on both the Stuttgart and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges under ticker symbol "SCE" and ISIN DE 000515623, leadership stability has been a consistent factor in its operations. The Supervisory Board expressed appreciation for Gottwald's contributions, stating they "would like to thank Mr. Gottwald for his work and his services to the company and wishes him all the best for the future."
For stakeholders and industry observers, this development represents more than an organizational change—it signals how Schweizer Electronic AG manages leadership transitions while maintaining its technological edge in competitive global markets. The company's ability to redistribute executive responsibilities without external recruitment suggests confidence in existing leadership capabilities.
