NORMA Group SE has announced a significant change to its leadership structure. The Supervisory Board has decided to reduce the company’s Management Board from three to two members, effective immediately. Going forward, the Management Board will consist of the CEO and CFO. This decision aligns with the company’s transformation towards NewNORMA, a strategic initiative that follows the sale of its Water Management business and a realignment of its management approach.
As part of this restructuring, Dr. Daniel Heymann, member of the Management Board and Chief Operating Officer, stepped down effective September 14, 2026. The company stated that NORMA Group SE and Dr. Heymann mutually agreed to end their contractual relationship. CEO Birgit Seeger expressed her gratitude: “I would like to personally thank Daniel very much for the trusted and constructive collaboration. I wish him all the best for his professional and personal future. With the transformation towards NewNORMA, we are consistently aligning the company with its future size and organizational setup. This also includes an appropriately lean management structure.”
The reduction of the Management Board is part of a broader effort to make NORMA Group leaner, more transparent, and more competitive. In July 2026, the Supervisory Board was also reduced from six to five members following approval by the Annual General Meeting. Mark Wilhelms, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, commented, “Reducing the size of the Management Board will make NORMA Group more agile and thereby enhance the Group’s competitiveness. This will enable us to better leverage the opportunities created as part of the transformation strategy.”
This news matters because it signals a decisive step in NORMA Group’s transformation. By streamlining its leadership, the company aims to improve decision-making speed and operational efficiency. For investors, the move may indicate a commitment to cost reduction and strategic focus, potentially leading to improved financial performance. The company generated sales of around EUR 820 million in 2025 and employs approximately 6,000 people worldwide. With a global network of 19 production sites and customers in over 100 countries, NORMA Group is a key player in engineered and standardized connecting technology. Its products are used in electric and combustion vehicles, ships, aircraft, energy and infrastructure systems, machinery, pharma, agriculture, white goods, and buildings.
For the industry, this restructuring could set a precedent for other companies undergoing similar transformations, emphasizing lean management as a competitive advantage. As NORMA Group continues to adapt to market demands, stakeholders will be watching to see how this leaner structure translates into tangible results.
