HELMA Eigenheimbau AG held its Annual General Meeting today. During the meeting, the company's Executive Board reported on the successful agreement with the main financing partners to secure the liquidity and financing position, as well as the concept of measures for the strategic adjustment of the HELMA Group. The main cornerstones of these measures are the acceleration of profitable corporate growth, the sustainable optimization of the organizational structure, and the harmonization, standardization, and digitalization of the operational organization.

Change to HELMA Eigenheimbau AG Supervisory Board:
To stabilise its traditional business and quickly return to qualitative growth in view of the current massive changes on the market, HELMA Eigenheimbau AG is currently rigorously realigning its activities. At the same time, the composition of the Supervisory Board was assessed, the goal being to further rejuvenate and diversify the Board and to strengthen its specific expertise in the areas of industry know-how, digitalisation and sustainability. Due to legal requirements, this process is being carried out with the help of consultants and corresponding industry-standard rules pertaining to the desired structure of the Supervisory Board in the medium term.

As a result of this process, Andreas Zschiesche, Großpösna, and Oliver Bletgen, Hanover, will join the Supervisory Board of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG with immediate effect. Their appointment was announced yesterday by Hildesheim Local Court. Andreas Zschiesche, 50, is a civil engineer and has many years of very detailed experience in the construction business. He worked in project development for HELMA at the company’s Leipzig location from 2018 to 2021. Oliver Bletgen, 42, is a tax consultant and established his own law firm in 2009, which now has more than 20 employees. He is also a member of the Supervisory Board of net.de AG in Hanover.

In parallel, Sven Aßmann, Paul Heinrich Morzynski and Dr. Peter Plathe retired from the Supervisory Board as of 30 June 2023. Karl-Heinz Maerzke, Chair of the HELMA Eigenheimbau AG Supervisory Board: “I would like to thank Sven Assmann, Heinrich Morzynski and Dr. Peter Plathe for their many years of commitment to the HELMA Group and for their expert advice at all times. With Andreas Zschiesche and Oliver Bletgen, we are both rejuvenating the Board and gaining new impulses. We are delighted to welcome Andreas, an experienced industry expert, back on board at HELMA. And Oliver will be a great help to us with his expertise in tax, legal and commercial. A decision will be made without delay regarding the third vacant position on the Supervisory Board and the appointment process will then be initiated.”
