Board of Directors

The KWH Group’s Board of Directors consists of eight members and a secretary. The majority of the members are shareholders, giving the owners a strong position, whether or not they are represented in the operational management. The Board’s role is to manage the Group’s affairs on behalf of the owners, ensuring effective management in accordance with good business practice, and approving and monitoring business strategy, strategic objectives, risk management and governance.

Integrating the values of the family business into strategic plans preserves the long-term perspective while adapting to market changes. This approach promotes continuity and stability within the Group, which has been crucial to our long-term success.
