Liqui Moly names Dr Uli Weller as joint MD

Liqui Moly’s long-standing commercial director, Dr. Uli Weller, has been appointed joint managing director of the company, alongside Günter Hiermaier. Dr Weller will become the second managing director of the group of companies at the start of 2023.

“My responsibility is to lead our company into a secure future. For me, a second managing director means perfect strategic support,” says Hiermaier.

With this step, Dr. Weller will be promoted as an additional managing director of the Liqui Moly Group, which also includes the Meguin GmbH & Co. KG Mineraloelwerke in Saarlouis as well numerous Liqui Moly subsidiaries abroad. He will continue functioning as the Commercial Director.

“Dr Weller is one of the people who shaped Liqui Moly. For more than a decade, he has made a reliable contribution to our success. He has internalised our values, helped shape our strategies as commercial director and knows the company like nobody else,” says Günter Hiermaier. Hiermaier remains the company spokesman.

Liqui Moly is set to make a turnover of 800 million euros this year – up on 2021 – and employs more than 1,000 people. The company aims to reach their self-defined goal of 1 billion euros in turnover by 2025.

“Our order books are full and we’re investing several million euros in the expansion of our production,” Hiermaier announced, adding: “Our strategy of diversification and internationalisation has given us the ability to successfully deal with crises, complex situations and dynamic markets. You could say we’re not putting all our eggs in one basket. And it’s exactly this course that we we’re following by nominating Dr Weller as the second Managing Director.”
