Continental is Preparing to Spin-off Automotive and Make it an Independent Company

Due to the increasingly dynamic markets in the automotive industry, the Continental Executive Board has decided, following a strategic review, to on spin off the Automotive group sector. Subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board in March 2025, the spin-off will be presented for resolution to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of Continental AG on April 25, 2025. The current plan is to complete the spin-off of Automotive as a European company (Societas Europaea, SE) listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange by the end of 2025. The independent company will operate under a new brand, which is to be launched by the end of April 2025. The company will be led by Philipp von Hirschheydt (50), who has headed the group sector as a member of Continental’s Executive Board since May 2023.

Our strategy aims to increase our value creation. This involves systematically analyzing how we can best position our group sectors for success.
