Changes to the management
Published on 26.06.2025
The Karl Knauer Group is announcing a change in its management team. The previous Managing Director of Karl Knauer Poland, Karolina Matysiak, is leaving the company for health reasons. She has worked at the Polish site for over 22 years and in recent years has played a key role in the development of the Polish plant. With an eye to the future, the Managing Directors of the Biberach-based parent company, Marco Manna and Nicki Eberle, are now taking over the management of its Polish subsidiary. “This decision marks a turning point and an opportunity for even stronger, unified leadership. Through joint management, we’re pooling our expertise in order to further develop in a future-oriented manner,” says the company.
As an industrial engineer and tax consultant, Marco Manna combines extensive expertise with years of experience in auditing and industry. He joined the company as a financial expert in 2020, quickly taking over other administrative areas with great commitment and showing himself to be a valued team player. He has been responsible for the commercial management of Karl Knauer KG, Biberach, since 2024.
Nicki Eberle joined the management team in 2022 as Head of Production. Thanks to his Master of Engineering degree and his diverse professional experience in companies from similar sectors, he quickly provided important impetus. A technician with strong leadership skills paired with a business management focus, he has been responsible for technical management since 2024.
“We’re looking forward to this new phase and are confident that increasing collaboration between our two teams will create synergies that will drive our company’s success,” explains Stefanie Wieckenberg, Managing Partner. “Together, we are focusing on clear, unified leadership in order to achieve our strategic goals and continue to develop innovative solutions for our customers.”
The family business is optimistic about the future. The Managing Directors are confident that this change will form the basis for sustainable growth, innovation and successful further development. www.karlknauer.de
