German Foundry Industry Association appoints Theuringer as its new managing director
Martin Theuringer, a renowned economist and consultant with a focus on industrial economics, innovation, and business development, is set to take over as the CEO and Chief Economist of the Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl (German Steel Federation) on January 1, 2026.
The upcoming change in leadership was announced recently, with current CEO Max Schumacher set to step down and be succeeded by Theuringer.
While Theuringer's extensive professional background is well-documented in the field of economics, there is limited publicly available information linking him prominently to leadership roles in the German Foundry Industry Association or related industry associations.
However, it is known that Theuringer serves on the expert advisory board of the Kompetenzzentrum Energieintensive Industrie (KEI), the Spiegelkreis Nationaler Wasserstoffrats, and is the Chair of the Economic Committee at worldsteel. He is also a member of the advisory board of the Fachkommission HySteel of the German Hydrogen Association and a member of the board of the Stiftung Stahlanwendungsforschung.
Theuringer's areas of expertise include industrial policy, energy policy, and sustainability, which align with the focus areas of the organisations he is affiliated with.
Despite extensive searches, there is no direct search result providing specific biographical or professional information about Theuringer in relation to politics or the German Foundry Industry Association. There is also no mention of his background, roles, or affiliations in these political or industrial contexts in queries that could potentially relate to Germany or politics in 2025.
For more detailed and authoritative information about Theuringer's role or background in these specific organisations or politically, it may be necessary to consult official websites or publications from the German Foundry Industry Association or Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl, professional profiles or company press releases, industry-specific databases or German industrial and political association records.
