New Leadership Era Begins With the Appointment of Birgit Seeger as Chief Executive Officer to Guide Organizational Transformation
Effective November 1, 2025, Birgit Seeger will become CEO of NORMA Group. The Supervisory Board of NORMA Group today appointed her as the future Chair of the Management Board. As planned, the current interim CEO Mark Wilhelms will return to the Supervisory Board as of November 1.
Kerstin Müller-Kirchhofs, Chair of the Supervisory Board of NORMA Group, says: “With her exceptional industry expertise and proven track record in transformation processes, Birgit Seeger is the ideal candidate. I am confident that she will effectively leverage this experience, combined with her conceptual clarity, operational implementation strength and strong leadership skills, to advance NORMA Group.”
Birgit Seeger has many years of management experience with positions in industrial companies and management consultancies. Currently, she is Senior Vice President of the Comfort Actuators business unit of Robert Bosch GmbH and thus responsible for the global business with electric drives for seats, sunroofs and window lifters in vehicles. She is also a member of the Board of Directors of Konecranes Oyj, a manufacturer of cranes and lifting equipment listed on the Finnish stock exchange Nasdaq Helsinki. Previous positions include international consulting firms and various management positions in the automotive supply industry. She started her career as a project manager at Robert Bosch GmbH after graduating from University of Tübingen with a degree in business administration.
Designated CEO Birgit Seeger says: “NORMA Group is on its way to becoming a focused industrial supplier with two strong business units: industry applications for a wide range of uses, and solutions for vehicles of all drive types. I am taking on the task of driving this transformation forward with energy and respect, alongside my colleagues on the Management Board. Together, we will lead this process to success. We will do everything in our power to build trust among customers, employees, and shareholders, to realize the potential of NORMA Group, and to achieve sustainable profitable growth.”
Kerstin Müller-Kirchhofs thanks the current interim CEO: “On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to warmly thank Mark Wilhelms for his willingness to join the Management Board on an interim basis. He has ensured continuity in management and consistently driven forward important initiatives, such as the ongoing divestment of the Water Management business unit, forward.” Mark Wilhelms will continue to serve as CEO until Birgit Seeger takes over, after which he will return to the Supervisory Board.
