The AMANN Group has announced a major realignment of its executive leadership, appointing Markus Nicolaus as Chief Executive Officer and Christine Bauer as Chief Commercial Officer, effective June 1, 2025. The new four-member Executive Board now includes Nicolaus, Bauer, Ivo Herzog as Chief Sustainability & Innovation Officer, and Peter Morgalla as Chief Operating Officer.

Nicolaus, with over 25 years of experience in strategic transformation and international expansion, takes charge with a mandate to position AMANN for sustainable global growth and resilience. The company, a leading manufacturer of high-quality sewing and embroidery threads, has invested over €100 million in expanding its Asian production facilities in recent years and supplies products integral to more than half of the airbags produced worldwide.

Bauer, the first woman to join AMANN’s Executive Board, has been with the company since 2017 and previously led its Consumer Division Mettler. In her new role, she will focus on strengthening sales and marketing strategy with an emphasis on customer proximity, market orientation, and sustainable expansion.

Advisory Board Chairman Alwin Epple described the appointments as a “forward-looking signal” aimed at reinforcing AMANN’s position as a reliable and innovative leader in the high-tech textile industry, with an enduring focus on quality, customer satisfaction, and international competitiveness.
