The Board was reduced in size after David Dean did not stand for re‑election due to the 12‑year term limit and was not replaced.
Chairman Häberli expressed gratitude to Mr. Dean for his “gross engagement” in driving the company’s development during a period of strong growth and significant challenges. He also thanked Mr. Matijas Meyer for his “extraordinary commitment” to the Komax Group, highlighting Mr. Meyer’s lasting influence over the past 19 years, including his eleven‑year tenure as CEO until the end of March 2026.
Strategic Highlights – Cost Reduction
During the meeting, Häberli outlined measures taken to reduce costs amid a challenging market environment. The automotive sector in Europe was cited as a particular area of weakness. These initiatives were presented as part of Komax’s strategy to maintain competitiveness while navigating market volatility.
