Since 2001, MBO Group has been managed by an estate administrator, including an advisory board and managing director. This was a condition of the will and testament of Heinz Binder. With all conditions of his will recently fulfilled, the company has returned to being 100 percent owned by the Binder family.

As directors, Katharina Binder and Anna-Lisa Binder, will take on all directorship tasks and will have a significant impact on the group's development.

Further, effective March 1, Thomas Heininger has taken over the responsibilities of the CEO of MBO Maschinenbau Oppenweiler Binder and associated companies MBO Portugal, MBO France, MBO America, MBO China and Herzog+Heymann. Christian Gohlke has been appointed to the role of CFO, while Dirk Stühmeier is again managing director of Herzog+Heymann.
