On February 17, 2025, Matthews International Corporation announced the appointment of Thomas Gebhardt to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Gebhardt brings significant experience in batteries and EV technology solutions, which aligns with the company's strategic focus on its Industrial Technologies segment.
Concurrently, Gregory S. Babe resigned from the Board, effective immediately. His resignation follows an earlier announcement on January 24, 2025, that he would not stand for re-election. This change reflects a proactive step in board refreshment.
The appointment of a director with specific expertise in EV technology is significant for Matthews, particularly given its proprietary Dry Battery Electrode (DBE) technology. This move aims to strengthen the board's oversight and strategic guidance in a key growth area for the company.
