BSH has confirmed a major leadership shift from 1 October, with long‑serving executive Rudolf Klötscher stepping up as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Management.

He succeeds Dr. Matthias Metz, who departs after four years of steering the business through a challenging global market. The move signals continuity at the top — and fresh momentum — as BSH also appoints Mirko Aksentijevic to the Board with new responsibilities across brand, regions and customer service.
