Forbo accelerates Movement Systems transformation: new operating model and direct CEO leadership

11.05.2026 / 18:00 CET/CEST


MEDIA RELEASE

The Forbo Group announces a new operating model for its Movement Systems division and a change in divisional leadership, both effective June 1, 2026. The changes are the outcome of a strategic review and are designed to restore profitable growth in the division and strengthen Forbo's position with its customers worldwide.

Baar, May 11, 2026

A sharper operating model
Movement Systems will move from its current geographic structure to a functional organization built to deliver three key objectives: operational excellence at scale, enhanced commercial rigor, and faster execution.
A new Global Operations function will bring production, fabrication, and on-site services under unified leadership. These capabilities – close to the customer, technically demanding, and difficult to replicate – are among Forbo's strongest competitive advantages, and the company will further invest in them.
'Movement Systems has leading positions, strong technology, and a footprint that few competitors can match,' says Johannes Huber, CEO Forbo Group. 'We see clear opportunities to improve performance, and we are taking decisive action to capture them. The new structure gives us clearer accountability, faster decisions, and a stronger commercial engine.'

Leadership
Effective June 1, 2026, Johannes Huber will assume direct leadership of Movement Systems alongside his role as Group CEO. This is a deliberate choice: the division's priorities for the next phase warrant the CEO's full ownership, and the new functional model is designed to operate effectively under unified leadership.
'The Board of Directors has carefully considered the right leadership setup for this next phase and fully supports the direction announced today,' says Bernhard Merki, Chairman of the Board of Directors. 'Direct CEO leadership of Movement Systems, combined with a stronger functional organization, is the most effective way to translate the division's potential into results.'

Marc Deimling, Executive Vice President Movement Systems, has decided to leave Forbo by the end of May 2026 to take up a role outside the Forbo Group. Over more than eight years, Marc Deimling has advanced the modernization of the division’s global footprint, including major investments in Pinghu/China and Fukuroi/Japan, strengthened its innovation pipeline, and guided the division through the exceptionally challenging period of the Covid pandemic. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board thank Marc Deimling for his contribution and wish him every success.
