With Frank Donsbach’s appointment, schwartz expands its senior leadership team. Alexander Wilden, Dipl. Kfm., Dipl.-Wi.Jur., formerly the company’s sole Managing Director, cedes his previous responsibility for the fields of sales and technology to Mr. Donsbach but remains Commercial Director and continues to oversee the operations of the company’s subsidiaries, schwartz HTS (China) and schwartz, Inc. (USA). Moreover, Mr. Wilden will act as Chairman of the new Managing Board.
“Strong growth of the schwartz Group over the last four years had created the need to share tasks and burdens – putting more shoulders to the wheel, as it were. I am very happy we managed to convince Mr. Donsbach to join us. With his many years of experience and extensive know-how in industrial furnace manufacturing he will be key to the expansion of our existing market position in the press-hardening segment as well as to the development of new business fields.”

Industriepolitik 2026: „Raus aus dem Jammertal, rauf auf den Lösungsweg“
Der Wirtschaftsverband Stahl- und Metallverarbeitung (WSM) fordert konkrete Sofortmaßnahmen zur Stärkung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit: Aussetzung des nationalen CO2-Preises für die Industrie und Abschaffung des Solidaritätszuschlags. „Wir müssen raus aus dem Jammertal, rauf auf den Lösungsweg”, betont WSM-Hauptgeschäftsführer Christian Vietmeyer. Beide Maßnahmen seien kurzfristig umsetzbar und würden 2026 direkt wirken.
