Executive Board - Westfalen AG (PLC)

Executive Board.

 

The management team introduces itself.

In its more than 100-year history, Westfalen has developed from a regional gas producer, supplier and filling station operator into a group of companies operating throughout Europe. With this growth, responsibility has also grown – towards our employees, customers and society. In order to continue the success story of the family-owned company, we see it as our task to initiate Westfalen's green transformation and offer environmentally friendly solutions – this is how we promote sustainable progress.
