ALBERTO expands its management
Mönchengladbach-based pants specialist ALBERTO has expanded its management team as of 2 January 2024. ALBERTO owner Georg Walendy, who has retired from active business operations, will be replaced by his children Anna Mühlen (née Walendy), in the role of Managing Director of Sustainability, Production, Logistics, Procurement and IT, and Philipp Walendy, in the role of Managing Director of Product Development. Both of them have been working in senior positions at the company for more than 15 years. Together with Marco Lanowy (Managing Director of Retail, Sales and Marketing) and Jürgen Schmiedel (Managing Director of Human Resources, Controlling and Finance), they will now jointly run the family business. Georg Walendy, who built ALBERTO together with Marco Lanowy and Jürgen Schmiedel into one of the most innovative pants suppliers over the past decades, will remain with the company as owner in an advisory role, but will retire from active management: ‘I can now hand over responsibility that I've cherished and loved for years, because my children have become part of the company, and when I see the vigour and inner conviction they bring to carrying on the ALBERTO philosophy, it makes me very proud. With Marco Lanowy and Jürgen Schmiedel on the management board, we can be sure of continuity and stability going forward.’
