Dettingen/Erms (Germany), March 24, 2017 +++ The Supervisory Board of ElringKlinger charted an important course for the future at its meeting convened on March 24, 2017. Having held leading positions at ElringKlinger AG and its predecessor companies over a period spanning 45 years in total, Chairman of the Supervisory Board Walter H. Lechler informed his fellow board members that he would be standing down from his post at the end of the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2017, and would thus be vacating the Supervisory Board. In doing so, he is following the standard practice embraced by the family of principal shareholders not to occupy key positions beyond the age of 75. In 1972, Lechler became a member of the shareholder committee of the company formerly known as Elring GmbH. As from 1976, he was a member of the supervisory board of ZWL Grundbesitz- und Beteiligungs-AG, which together with ElringKlinger GmbH was merged into ElringKlinger AG in the year 2000. At that point, he became a member of the company's Supervisory Board, before being appointed its Chairman on May 16, 2012.
