Peter Spuhler again CEO of Stadler Rail
Due to differences of opinion regarding Stadler's future strategy and organisation, the board of directors and the group CEO Thomas Ahlburg have decided to terminate the employment by mutual agreement. Until a successor is found, Peter Spuhler, executive chairman of the board of directors, will take over the position as group CEO ad interim with immediate effect.
Ahlburg will continue to serve the company as senior advisor until the end of 2020. He had been CEO of the Swiss rail vehicle manufacturer since the beginning of 2018.
With Spuhler's appointment and his experience as former and longstanding group CEO and executive chairman of the board of directors, Stadler's operative and strategic management is in good hands during this transitional phase.
Spuhler is confident and says: "I have great faith in the quality of our staff and our management team, which is reflected in the reliability of our rail vehicles and services which are deployed by customers worldwide." (mw)
