The company had appointed Martin Eppinger as chief technology and operations officer and executive board member effective October 1, 2026, according to Wacker Neuson Group.

Operations leadership changes

Eppinger has worked for Wacker Neuson for more than 25 years and previously held several management roles at Kramer-Werke GmbH. His remit covers innovation, operations and competitiveness across the group, while the company links the role to its Strategy 2030 program.

The appointment follows a board change announced on July 20, 2026. The investor-relations page lists four executive board members and identifies Wacker Neuson with ISIN DE000WACK012, ticker WAC and WKN WACK01, according to Wacker Neuson Group.

What does the margin range signal?

The key operating comparison is the first half of 2026. Revenue rose 16.90 percent to EUR 1.26 billion, while EBIT reached EUR 104.70 million and the EBIT margin was 8.30 percent, according to boersengefluester.de.

For fiscal year 2026, management guides for revenue of EUR 2.3 billion to EUR 2.4 billion and an EBIT margin of 7.00 percent to 8.00 percent. The range places the 8.30 percent first-half margin above the full-year midpoint, but the guidance also reflects a more cautious second half.
