Uwe Böhlke has been appointed CEO of Rehau Industries, the newly formed company that brings together the Building Solutions, Furniture Solutions, Industrial Solutions and Window Solutions Divisions as well as Group Services. Operating from January 1, 2022 as the new CEO, Böhlke, who will also continue in his current role as COO, will replace the resigning William Christensen.

The latter, following differences of opinion regarding the future organizational structure of the Group, has in fact decided to leave Rehau on December 31, 2021, embarking on a new career path. Veit Wagner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Rehau Group, commenting on Christensen's decision and thanking him for his work, said he regretted his choice. "Under his leadership as CEO," he said, "the group's process of divisionalization has been successfully pursued while improving profitability".
