TAKKT AG held its virtual Shareholders’ Meeting on May 20, 2026, where shareholders endorsed all resolutions proposed by the Management Board and Supervisory Board, including the renewal of capital measures and compensation resolutions. The meeting underscored the company's commitment to stabilizing operations and implementing its TAKKT Forward strategy amid a difficult market environment.
CEO Andreas Weishaar candidly outlined the company’s business performance in 2025 and current challenges while emphasizing TAKKT’s stable financial foundation and progress in executing its strategic plan. “2025 was not an easy year for TAKKT. At the same time, we addressed the right issues and created the conditions to structurally improve our business and put it back on a growth trajectory,” Weishaar said. His remarks focused on organizational development, market trends, and measures to increase efficiency and improve cost structures, particularly through a stronger focus on the core Industrial & Packaging segment.
Despite a persistently challenging market, the Management Board expressed confidence in achieving further stabilization over the course of the year and laying the foundation for a return to profitable growth. The company’s TAKKT Forward strategy aims to streamline operations and enhance competitiveness, positioning TAKKT for long-term success in the business equipment distribution sector.
In a separate announcement, Chairman of the Supervisory Board Hubertus Muhlhauser said he will step down before the next Shareholders’ Meeting for personal reasons. He will actively support the search for his successor and continue his duties until the handover.
