Schlatter Industries Reorganizes Executive Team for Future Growth

Schlatter Industries AG announced key changes to its Executive Board to support the company's future development. Effective 1 August 2026, Daniel Zappa, previously Chief Sales Officer, will assume the role of CEO. This transition follows the departure of Werner Schmidli, the outgoing CEO, who is stepping down on 31 July 2026 after significant contributions to the company's growth.

Daniel Zappa brings substantial experience, having occupied various management roles within Schlatter. His understanding of international markets and company technologies is expected to aid the strategic progress of the company. Meanwhile, Roger Widmer will succeed Zappa as the new Chief Sales Officer.

Widmer has over two decades of experience with Schlatter, most recently as Head of Project and Product Management. The internal succession plan aims to ensure continuity while fostering future strategic initiatives without altering the company's 2026 financial projections.
