Mannheim, May 06, 2026<\/p>\n

After 16 years with the company, Managing Director Peter K\u00f6rner has retired effective May 1, 2026. As Head of Human Resources and Managing Director, K\u00f6rner will especially remember the team spirit and the strong sense of loyalty among employees toward the company and the MWM brand.<\/p>\n

Years of Experience in Human Resources<\/h2>\n

K\u00f6rner brought extensive experience in human resources to the company. “It all started with an apprenticeship in industrial management with Bilfinger + Berger in August 1987”, says K\u00f6rner. “After completing my apprenticeship, I started working in the Human Resources department in June 1990. In April 1992, I joined a subsidiary of Heidelberg Materials as an administrative assistant, and in 1995 I took over as Head of Human Resources for the company’s seven locations.” K\u00f6rner’s career path then took him to K\u00fchnle, Kopp & Kausch, and Siemens, where he was responsible for various projects. In 2009, K\u00f6rner joined MWM GmbH, now known as Caterpillar Energy Solutions GmbH. “Being from Mannheim, I have always been interested in the company”, he emphasizes.<\/p>\n
