Bremen, September 3, 2025. The Supervisory Board of OHB SE (ISIN: DE0005936124, Prime Standard) has appointed Dr. Tim Tecklenburg as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and member of the Management Board with effect from September 1, 2025.
Dr. Tecklenburg most recently served as CFO on the Executive Board of Aebi Schmidt Holding AG in Switzerland. Prior to that, he held management positions at RUAG Space in Zurich and Rheinmetall Defence Electronics in Bremen. Dr. Tecklenburg therefore has in-depth knowledge of both the space project business and the defense industry.
"With Dr. Tecklenburg, we are gaining a proven financial expert with in-depth industry knowledge. Of course, Kurt Melching has had a significant impact on our company over several decades. However, I am convinced that Tim Tecklenburg is a worthy successor. He will consistently pursue the optimizations we have initiated as part of our transformation process and at the same time provide new impetus for profitable growth," states Marco Fuchs, CEO of OHB SE.
Dr. Tecklenburg began his academic career by studying business administration at the University of Münster, where he also earned his doctorate. Dr. Tecklenburg is married and has two children. The handover of responsibilities will take place in close coordination with his predecessor, Kurt Melching, who will support him over the coming weeks. In addition, Mr. Melching will take on additional strategic tasks on the Group's Management Board, particularly in the defense sector.
