Change in leadership at STILL
Andreas Schneider is new Executive Vice President Sales & Service at STILL. Since 1 August 2026, he has taken over the position from Dr Florian Heydenreich, who is leaving the company at his own request after eleven years.
By appointing Andreas Schneider to the executive board, STILL is continuing its strategy of focusing consistently on customer needs in intralogistics and expanding its smart automation portfolio. Mr Schneider, who is 48 years old, has been part of the company for ten years and is a proven expert in the fields of service, brand development and automation. Most recently, he was responsible for product management and the group's automation business unit.
"Constant innovation, highly efficient customer solutions and a reliable, proactive service have always been the hallmarks of STILL, and will continue to be key decision-making criteria for companies in the dynamic intralogistics market. STILL boasts a broad, attractive range of products, an excellent reputation and a superb market position thanks to its innovative portfolio of solutions and modular, digital service modules. I am very much looking forward to building on this foundation and developing STILL as a driver of innovative solutions based on leading technologies that deliver maximum customer benefit in the intralogistics market,” says Andreas Schneider, speaking about his objectives in his new executive role.
Dr Florian Heydenreich has stepped down from his executive role at his own request to pursue new professional challenges. As part of a comprehensive transition process, he has handed over leadership of the STILL brand to Andreas Schneider. Together, they have laid the foundations for further strengthening the brand and its operational structures.
"We deeply regret Dr Heydenreich’s decision to step down from the executive board, and we would like to express our sincere thanks to him for his outstanding commitment to STILL. His entrepreneurial foresight, in-depth expertise and high level of personal dedication have significantly strengthened the success of the STILL brand and its positioning in the intralogistics market in recent years. We wish him all the very best for his future, both professionally and personally,” says KION executive board member Andreas Krinninger.
