Mattighofen, January 23, 2025 – Stefan Pierer, CEO of KTM AG for many years, is handing over the
management of the company to his Co-CEO Gottfried Neumeister. With this step, one of the world’s
leading motorcycle manufacturers is strategically positioning itself for the future. Pierer will
continue to accompany the reorganization process as a member of the Executive Board with full
commitment and will remain part of the KTM family.  

Since taking over KTM in 1992, Stefan Pierer has built the company from a regional motorcycle
manufacturer into a global brand with legendary status in the motorcycle industry. Today, for
millions of fans, KTM stands for innovation, performance and a spirit of adventure like no other
brand – values that will remain in focus under the new management.  

„For me, KTM was always more than just a company – it was and is a passion, a mission and a family.
The decision to hand over the helm was not an easy one. I am deeply convinced that Gottfried
Neumeister, with his strategic foresight and commitment, is the right choice to lead KTM into the
future,“ says Stefan Pierer.

Gottfried Neumeister brings extensive experience in corporate management, including many years as a
board member of flyniki and DO &CO. He emphasizes: „Stefan Pierer has created a unique company that
reflects the passion and pioneering spirit of all employees. I see it as my task to preserve this
legacy and at the same time to break new ground. KTM stands for courage, innovation and passion –
values that we will continue to live by and carry into the future. Together with our team, we will
continue to strengthen KTM and set new standards to build the best motorcycles in the world.“  

With the new management structure, KTM is ideally equipped to master the challenges of the future and
continue its success story. The focus remains on innovation, performance and the continuous
development of a motorcycle brand that inspires millions of fans worldwide. KTM remains focused on
redefining the limits of what is possible on two wheels. The company will continue on its path with
the same determination that has made it a global icon under the leadership of Stefan Pierer.
