TAKKT AG held its annual Shareholders’ Meeting virtually on May 20, 2026, with shareholders endorsing all resolutions proposed by the Management Board and Supervisory Board, including the renewal of capital measures and compensation structures. The meeting confirmed the company's course toward stabilization and implementation of its TAKKT Forward strategy, as outlined by CEO Andreas Weishaar.
In his speech, Weishaar candidly described 2025 as a difficult year for TAKKT but emphasized that the company has addressed the right issues and created conditions to structurally improve the business. "We addressed the right issues and created the conditions to structurally improve our business and put it back on a growth trajectory," Weishaar said. He highlighted progress in implementing the TAKKT Forward strategy, focusing on organizational development, market expansion, and measures to increase efficiency and improve cost structures.
A key aspect of the strategy is a stronger focus on the core business in the Industrial & Packaging segment. Despite a challenging market environment, the Management Board expressed confidence that TAKKT would achieve further stabilization over the course of the year and lay the foundation for a return to profitable growth. The company's stable financial foundation was noted as a critical factor in navigating current challenges.
During the meeting, Chairman of the Supervisory Board Hubertus Muhlhauser announced his intention to step down before the next Shareholders’ Meeting for personal reasons. He will actively support the search for his successor and continue his responsibilities until the handover.
