The AZO Group is setting the course for the next generation: On January 1, 2026, Lukas Zimmermann took over the management of AZO Holding GmbH and simultaneously assumed the role of CEO of the Executive Board of the AZO Group. He will manage the company together with his father Rainer Zimmermann.
With this decision, the family-run company is consistently continuing the planned generational change and at the same time strengthening its long-term management structure. The expanded management team stands for continuity, stability and future viability within the AZO Group.
"The gradual transfer of responsibility is a central component of our corporate strategy," explains Rainer Zimmermann. "Close cooperation across generations ensures that experience, values and entrepreneurial responsibility are retained, as is the ability to provide new impetus for innovation and growth."
Lukas Zimmermann has already held various positions within the AZO Group for several years and is familiar with the company's international structures, markets and strategic challenges. In his new role, he will drive the further development of the Group and be responsible for the long-term orientation of the company.
With this step, the AZO Group is underlining its claim to be a sustainable, reliable and innovation-oriented family business. The orderly generational change is intended to offer stability and planning security to employees, customers and partners alike.
