2G Energy Appoints Martin Laux as CFO; Pehle Moves to IR

2G Energy AG, a leading manufacturer of sustainable power plants, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and heat pumps, has announced a significant change to its Management Board. CFO Friedrich Pehle, who has served in the role for nine years, will step down from the Management Board effective 1 January 2027 to focus exclusively on Investor Relations, a role he has already assumed since 1 November 2026. Pehle had informed the Supervisory Board of his wish to terminate his term early for personal reasons, and the Board agreed, initiating a search for his successor. Christian Grotholt, Supervisory Board member and founder of 2G Energy AG, praised Pehle’s contributions: “During his nine years as CFO, Mr Pehle has made a significant contribution to the professionalisation of 2G Energy AG. His sound judgement and strategic foresight have consistently provided reliable guidance to our Company, our employees and our investors in Germany and abroad.” Pehle expressed gratitude and noted that the company’s “compelling investment story must also be successfully positioned on the international capital markets.”

Martin Laux has been appointed to the Management Board as CFO effective 1 November 2026. Laux brings extensive experience in value-based corporate management, controlling, M&A integration, and efficiency enhancement at global industrial engineering companies. Most recently, he served as CFO of the Engines business unit at DEUTZ AG, overseeing a business with revenue of approximately EUR 1.5 billion. Prior to that, he held various international management positions within the DEUTZ Group, implementing Group-wide performance management tools and efficiency programmes. He began his career at BMW Group after graduating in industrial engineering. CEO Pablo Hofelich commented, “As an experienced executive, Martin Laux brings extensive expertise in guiding complex industrial companies through phases of internationalisation and organisational scaling. His appointment further strengthens our financial capabilities and expertise to support sustainable, profitable growth.”

With Laux’s appointment, 2G Energy AG underscores its commitment to continuing its successful and profitable growth strategy, expanding its international presence, and establishing the organisational and capital-markets framework required to support revenue in excess of EUR 1 billion. The company, founded in 1995, employs over 1000 people and generated net sales of EUR 398.4 million in the 2025 financial year. Its shares are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange’s Scale segment.
