STEICO SE (ISIN DE000A0LR936) has appointed Mr Piotr Dziergas as Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective September 16, 2026. The appointment, made by the company's Administrative Board, is for a three-year term. Dziergas succeeds Mr Thorsten Leicht, who was appointed CEO of STEICO SE in August 2026.
Dziergas, born in 1976, holds a Master of Science in Engineering Physics and brings extensive management experience in the wood-processing industry. Since 2024, he served as plant manager of STEICO's largest facility in Czarnkow, Poland. Under his leadership, the plant achieved significant improvements in production efficiency, according to the company.
The Administrative Board expressed confidence that Dziergas's deep familiarity with STEICO's operations will enable him to make substantial contributions to further production efficiency gains. As COO, he will oversee the company's Production Resort.
This leadership change comes at a time when STEICO, a leading provider of wood-based construction products, continues to focus on operational excellence. Dziergas's promotion from within the company signals a strategic emphasis on leveraging internal talent and proven performance. His engineering background and hands-on experience at the Czarnkow plant position him well to drive innovation and efficiency across STEICO's production network.
For stakeholders, the appointment of Dziergas as COO is expected to ensure continuity in production strategies while potentially accelerating improvements. Investors may view the move positively, as it aligns with STEICO's commitment to optimizing its manufacturing processes. The wood-processing industry, which faces ongoing challenges related to sustainability and cost management, will be watching how Dziergas's leadership impacts STEICO's competitive position.
Thorsten Leicht's transition to CEO in August 2026 already indicated a shift in STEICO's executive team. With Dziergas now taking on the COO role, the company appears to be solidifying a leadership structure aimed at sustaining growth and efficiency. The Administrative Board's unanimous support for Dziergas underscores their belief in his ability to deliver results.
STEICO SE, headquartered in Feldkirchen, Germany, is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is part of the SDAX index.
