Posted by Louise Prance on 4 July 2025

A significant leadership change is underway at the globally active family-owned business Schwan-STABILO.

Michele Molon With operations spanning Writing Instruments, Cosmetics, and Outdoor, and revenues of approximately €800 million, the Group employs more than 5,200 people in 38 locations worldwide.

After nearly three decades in various leadership roles, Sebastian Schwanhäußer will step down from his operational responsibilities at the end of the current fiscal year and assumed the position of Chairman of the Advisory Board on July 1, 2025.

As of October 1, 2025, Michele Molon will take over as Group CEO of Schwan-STABILO. During the transition period, CFO Anke Buttler will lead the Group's operations. This generational shift has been deliberately prepared to ensure stability while welcoming new momentum and perspectives. As a sixth-generation family-owned company, Schwan-STABILO continues to believe that early, well-planned transitions are a sign of strength – especially in an increasingly volatile business environment.
