Montana Aerospace AG and its operating subsidiaries, a leading supplier of system components and complex assemblies for the aerospace industry, with worldwide engineering and manufacturing operations, today announces an important change in its Group management.
Following the successful strategic portfolio optimization – including the divestment of the E-Mobility segment in November 2024 and the Energy segment in September 2025 – Montana Aerospace is now positioned as a pure-play aerospace company. As part of this strategic focus, the Company is adjusting its management structure to optimally support its future direction.
Michael Pistauer, previously Co-CEO and CFO of the Group, was elected to the Board of Directors of Montana Aerospace AG on 20 May 2025 and will now fully focus on this role. In his capacity as a member of the Board of Directors, he will support the Company’s long-term strategic development.
Patrick Maurer, who has been with Montana Aerospace since August 2022 and currently serves as CFO of the Aerostructures segment, has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Montana Aerospace AG.
Kai Arndt, previously Co-CEO and responsible for the Aerostructures segment, has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Montana Aerospace AG.
Michael Tojner, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Montana Aerospace AG, commented: “Michael Pistauer was a founding partner of Montana Aerospace and played a key role in the Company’s IPO in 2021 as well as in its strong operational development. I would like to thank him as a friend, member of the Board of Directors, and shareholder of Montana Aerospace. Michael will remain very actively involved with the Company going forward. With Patrick Maurer, a new CFO takes on the role and will continue the chosen course together with the existing Group management board. I wish him every success in this role.”
These changes will take effect on January 1, 2026.
