New commercial boss: Béla Szabó heads the Pfaffenhofen Stadtwerke!

Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Deutschland - good news from Pfaffenhofen! The municipal utilities are faced with a change in the leadership. Béla Szabó, a 45-year-old graduate in business administration and tax consultant with plenty of experience in the municipal energy economy, is appointed as a new commercial board. His taking office is planned for October 1, 2025. In the future, Szabó will be the board duo together with Thomas Wiringer, who is responsible for the technical area. This management team is currently completely after the Board of Directors voted for this decision last month.

In the meantime, the company is temporarily managed by Wiringer and Claudia Jonas. This is a particularly exciting time for the municipal utilities that have developed from a classic building yard to a modern service provider since 2013. They not only take care of the local water and energy supply, but also take care of the maintenance of public infrastructure and the cemetery. The engagement in future issues such as the distribution of green electricity and gas as well as the expansion of renewable energies and e-mobility show that the municipal utilities are at the pulse of time.

experience and commitment

Béla Szabó brings impressive professional experience to his new position. He had been working in the energy industry since 2007, first at E.On-Energie-AG and later until the end of 2023 as the managing director of the municipal Energie Regensburger Land (Kerl). Its extensive expertise will be of great benefit to the municipal utilities, especially in the current phase of transformation and growth.

Mayor Thomas Herker (SPD) emphasizes the importance of the full management team. "Now that Szabó is on board, we can come up with fresh wind and new ideas," said Herker Euphorically. The municipal utilities are a local service company that is 100 percent in citizens' hands. This independence and local reference are of great importance for the citizens.

outlook for the future

The further development in the municipal utilities is impressive: in addition to the energy and water supply, they also operate the local electricity and gas network via subsidiaries. In addition, the free city bus, which has been offered since 2022, is very popular.

Under the new board duo Szabó and Wiringer, you will be excited to see what innovations and improvements the municipal utilities will present in the coming time. Even if Stefan Eisenmann clears his chief chair, the future of the Pfaffenhofen Stadtwerke is more than secured with this strong duo in the lead.
