Oberkirch, June 6, 2024- PWO AG held its Annual General Meeting 2024 yesterday; around 65 percent of the share capital was represented. In his speech, CEO Carlo Lazzarini reported to the shareholders on how PWO - following on from the record-breaking year in 2022 - has once again pushed boundaries, broadened scope and opened additional prospects for the Group's further development with another outstanding performance in 2023.

We offer our employees many ways to realize their personal career prospects at the PWO Group. At all levels and in all areas of our Group, we have therefore been able to develop strong personalities. Thus, we manage the PWO Group with a lean two-member Executive Board and at the same time implement an ambitious global growth strategy. Our success continues to be based on our completely combustion-independent business model and our high innovative strength, which we use to support our customers in ramping up the green mobility of the future.
