New strategic direction at Haniel:
– Growth phase requires further development of Haniel culture: Haniel Group to become more modern, bold and performance-oriented – Portfolio with a consequent focus on sustainability – New, Group-wide management model, restructured Holding Company and generational shift in the Supervisory Board Duisburg, 16 September 2019. The family-equity company Haniel is starting its next chapter with its new strategic positioning: Following the successful financial consolidation, Haniel will return to a growth path. The fundamental basis is the development of a modern, entrepreneurial culture. Furthermore, in future Haniel will only invest in companies that – in addition to return expectations towards the portfolio – also positively contribute to a future worth living. This will be supported by a new management approach, a realignment of the management Holding Company and a generational shift in the Supervisory Board.
In addition to its investment portfolio focussing on established companies, Haniel will also use a share of its investment volume to invest in companies in earlier stages of their development through investment funds, taking into account the themes of People, Planet and Progress. Thereby, Haniel seeks to participate in growth and to also take advantage of diversification opportunities earlier on. As a profit-oriented company, Haniel has set clear goals for its investment portfolio: to outperform the capital market and generate a total return of more than 9% in the medium term. Haniel develops new management model Going forward, the Haniel Holding Company will become leaner and will be divided into two areas. The Investment area – using a team structure broken down by different subject areas in the foreseeable future – will steer the acquisition of new companies while at the same time directing the existing business areas as well as being responsible for their continuous value enhancement. The Infrastructure/Family area will bundle services for the Holding Company and the shareholders. “With the new strategy and the new structure being largely implemented by then, I consider the year 2020 to be the right time for a new generation to support the transformation also on the part of the Supervisory Board. With her many years of experience in investment management, Doreen Nowotne is exactly the right expert to accompany the change,” said Franz M. Haniel. Doreen Nowotne has been a member of Haniel’s Supervisory Board since April 2018. She spent a total of 13 years in the private equity business, at UBS Capital and most recently as a partner at BC Partners, where she was responsible for both the acquisition and development of portfolio companies. Doreen Nowotne is a member of the Supervisory Boards of Brenntag AG, Jenoptik AG and Lufthansa Technik AG. Doreen Nowotne commented: “I am very much looking forward to the work that lies ahead, and at the same time I am aware of the footsteps I am following in. I feel confident that with the transformation that has been initiated, Haniel has set the right course for the future.” – https://www.haniel.de/future_haniel/ – Haniel on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn – Images and videos about Haniel and the divisions Haniel You can find more information about Haniel at www.haniel.de/en and www.enkelfaehig.de.
