Mahlo with new advisory board member

Dr. Heike Wenzel has been a member of the advisory board of Mahlo GmbH + Co KG. With her, the machine builder from Saal could win an experienced partner from the industrial sector. The entrepreneur from Wiesthal succeeds Fritz P. Mayer, who is retiring from his position.

Entrepreneur Dr. Heike Wenzel completes the board of the mechanical engineering company

Dr. Heike Wenzel acts as managing associate of Wenzel Group GmbH & Co. KG, a leading supplier of measurement technology based in Lower Franconia. The company operates worldwide, but is nevertheless a 100% family-owned business - a great similarity with Mahlo. Dr. Wenzel appreciates the values of this culture and knows about the special responsibility that goes along with it. By combining tradition and innovation, she is leading the company into the future and is working to further expand the market position in the field of measurement technology.

"We are looking forward to working with our new advisory board member", emphasizes Mahlo-owner Ralph Greenwood-Mahlo. "Dr. Wenzel brings a lot of experience in the field of sensor technology from her own company. The Wenzel Group is also a medium-sized family business.

Dr. Heike Wenzel is married, mother of two children and is a volunteer at the IHK Aschaffenburg, currently as Vice President. During the last years she has realized her dream of owning her own riding stable and relaxes while riding her horse.

"As a family business owner, one thinks long-term and seeks the exchange of ideas with other entrepreneurs. Therefore, I am happy to be able to bring my values and ideas to Mahlo here. The goal of my actions is always to harmonize the requirements of the customers with the interests of the company and its employees. This has worked excellently at Mahlo so far and I would like to actively contribute to its continuation.
