Current News: Aiveen Kearney appointed Chair of the Managing Directors (CEO) with effect from 1 July 2024

Feldkirchen near Munich, 15 March 2024. At today's meeting of the Administrative Board of STEICO SE, Mr Udo Schramek resigned from his position as Chairman of the Managing Directors (CEO) with effect from 30 June 2024. The step was taken by mutual agreement and in consultation with the Administrative Board in the context of the acquisition of the majority of STEICO shares by the Kingspan Group.

Ms Aiveen Kearney, who is already a member of the Administrative Board, has been appointed as Managing Director with effect from 1 May 2024 and will succeed Mr Schramek as CEO on 1 July 2024. Mr Schramek will retain his seat on the Administrative Board and will continue to support the company in an advisory capacity. This will ensure a smooth transition in the company's management and lay the foundations for future growth. The other Managing Directors remain in office in accordance with their appointments.

Following a management meeting at STEICO's headquarters in Feldkirchen, Mr Schramek and Mr Gene Murtagh (CEO of Kingspan) informed the STEICO workforce about the upcoming change. Mr Schramek believes that Ms Kearney is the right person to lead STEICO to further growth and at the same time maintain the trusting and family culture at STEICO. He thanked the entire STEICO team for their outstanding commitment and emphasised that the growth story of the past decades is first and foremost a success of the entire team and that each individual has made an important contribution to this.

Mr Murtagh added to this: ‘I would like to thank Udo Schramek for his extraordinary achievements in creating the world's largest and most successful wood insulation manufacturer. Kingspan looks forward to working in partnership with STEICO to develop and grow the business even further.’

Both Mr Schramek and Mr Murtagh emphasised that STEICO will continue to operate on the market as an independent company and remain true to its current strategy. Customer orientation, innovative strength and an ecological mindset will continue to characterise STEICO's development in the future. They see great growth opportunities through the co-operation between STEICO and Kingspan, which will strengthen the growth and profitability of both companies.

Ms Kearney was born in Ireland and can look back on more than 20 years of international experience in the construction industry. She worked for Holcim (concrete) in Australia and the USA for around 15 years before returning to Ireland and joining Kingspan around 6 years ago. Since then she has worked for a number of Group companies, most recently managing the insulation division in the UK and Ireland.
