Dr. Thomas Schulze joins the ZF Supervisory Board - Annual General Meeting elects the Chairman of the Board of Management of the Ulderup Foundation as its representative on the Supervisory Board
- Schulze succeeds the late Dr. Joachim Meinecke
Friedrichshafen, Germany. ZF Friedrichshafen AG recently elected Dr. Thomas Schulze to its Supervisory Board as the representative of the Dr. Jürgen and Irmgard Ulderup Foundation. Dr. Schulze, who leads the foundation as Chairman of the Board, assumed the position with immediate effect. As a representative of the capital side, Dr. Schulze will initially serve until the end of the current term of office in March 2028. The election became necessary following the passing of Dr. Joachim Meinecke, the long-time representative of the second ZF shareholder on the Supervisory Board, besides the Zeppelin Foundation. The 20-member ZF Supervisory Board is now complete once again.
Dr. Schulze holds a degree in economics and a doctorate in business administration. He has been leading the Ulderup Foundation since 2018. Prior to that, he was the directly elected full-time mayor of Diepholz, a ZF location, from 2005 to 2018. He was also a county councilor in Diepholz County for several years. Dr. Thomas Schulze said, “I am eager to contribute to the company’s future development as a member of the ZF Supervisory Board and position ZF appropriately for the future.”
“The two foundations provide stability at ZF during times of change and challenges,” says Andreas Brand, the mayor of Friedrichshafen and representative of the Zeppelin Foundation. “We thank Dr. Thomas Schulze for his willingness to represent the Dr. Jürgen and Irmgard Ulderup Foundation on the ZF Supervisory Board and to accompany the company in a time of profound change.”
“We warmly welcome Dr. Thomas Schulze to our Board,” says Supervisory Board Chairman Dr. Heinrich Hiesinger. “As Chairman of the Board of the Ulderup Foundation and as a long-time mayor of Diepholz, he has been familiar with developments at ZF for many years. We are convinced he will support us with his experience in successfully mastering the mobility transformation and creating the necessary structures.”
With 93.8 percent, the Zeppelin Foundation is the main shareholder of ZF Friedrichshafen AG and is represented on the Supervisory Board by Andreas Brand, Mayor of the City of Friedrichshafen and Chairman of the Board of the Zeppelin Foundation. The Ulderup Foundation holds 6.2 percent of the shares.
