NORMA Group SE, a global leader in engineered and standardized connecting technology, has announced a significant restructuring of its Management Board. The Supervisory Board has decided to reduce the board from three to two members, with the CEO and CFO now constituting the entire Management Board. The move is part of the company's transformation towards NewNORMA, which aims to make the organization leaner, more transparent, and more competitive following the sale of its Water Management business.
As part of this adjustment, Dr. Daniel Heymann, who served as Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Management Board, stepped down effective September 14, 2026, by mutual agreement with the company. The decision reflects the changed size and setup of NORMA Group as it realigns its management approach. In July 2026, the Supervisory Board itself was reduced from six to five members, further underscoring the company's commitment to streamlined governance.
Birgit Seeger, CEO of NORMA Group, expressed gratitude for Heymann's contributions: "I would like to personally thank Daniel very much for the trusted and constructive collaboration. I wish him all the best for his professional and personal future. With the transformation towards NewNORMA, we are consistently aligning the company with its future size and organizational setup. This also includes an appropriately lean management structure."
Mark Wilhelms, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, highlighted the strategic rationale: "Reducing the size of the Management Board will make NORMA Group more agile and thereby enhance the Group's competitiveness. This will enable us to better leverage the opportunities created as part of the transformation strategy."
The restructuring comes as NORMA Group continues to position itself for long-term success. With around 6,000 employees and customers in over 100 countries, the company generated sales of approximately EUR 820 million in 2025. Its innovative connecting solutions are used across diverse industries, including automotive, aerospace, energy, infrastructure, and agriculture. The company operates a global network of 19 production sites and numerous sales offices, with headquarters in Maintal, Germany. NORMA Group SE is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard) and is a member of the SDAX.
For investors and industry observers, the reduction of the Management Board signals a decisive step in NORMA Group's transformation. A leaner leadership structure can lead to faster decision-making and reduced overhead, potentially improving margins and agility in a competitive market. The move also aligns with broader trends in corporate governance, where companies are increasingly opting for flatter hierarchies to respond swiftly to market changes. As NORMA Group focuses on its core connecting technology business, stakeholders will be watching to see how this structural change impacts operational efficiency and financial performance.
