Management
On this page:
The multinational water technology group Wilo is steered by company management. The team works with around 9,000 employees worldwide to advance Wilo’s strategic thrusts, including for the longer term, and drive business development.
Since the 2025 financial year, business activities have been organised and managed based on three main regions (Europe, Americas and AMEA) and the Strategic Business Unit Wilo Water Treatment. The regions and Wilo Water Treatment operate in a decentralised manner as independent strategic business units, particularly in relation to operational management decisions.
Responsibility for the implementation of business activities in the regions lies with the subsidiaries, whose activities are coordinated and managed by the regional executive teams. These are staffed with experienced managers who report directly to the Global Executive Board of WILO SE.
WILO SE, represented by its three-member Global Executive Board, performs the main management and steering functions for the Wilo Group. These primarily include strategy development and implementation, governance tasks, resource allocation, group-wide management of research and development activities, financial management and performance management. The Executive Board is supported in this by the global functions.
The WILO SE Supervisory Board appoints, monitors and supervises the group’s Global Executive Board.
