The group management
Group management structure
The areas of responsibility of management are clearly defined. In addition to their main duties, the ebm-papst Group Directors also serve as mentors and Supervisory Directors for one or more subsidiaries. This supervisory office means that the Group Director closely liaises with the responsible Managing Director of his assigned subsidiary in key issues of strategic importance and plays an active role in decisive tasks, such as:
- Annual planning
- Appointing management staff
- Involvement in special events
- Information about key business activities
- Agreeing annual targets
- Assessing local managers
The sponsor is the chairman of the Advisory Board for the subsidiary (if relevant). He plays no role in day-to-day business.
