Ulf Schneider Elected New Chairman of AEB Board

We are thrilled to announce that Ulf Schneider, President and Founder of SCHNEIDER GROUP, has been elected Chairman of the Board of the Association of European Businesses (AEB). The Board made this decision on April 24, 2026.

Since joining the AEB Board in 2024, Ulf Schneider has made significant contributions to the Association's development.

At SCHNEIDER GROUP, we celebrate this milestone as a testament to our commitment to fostering robust European-Russian business relations. We are convinced AEB will continue driving innovation and collaboration.

In the official AEB press release, Ulf Schneider noted: 

"I am grateful for the honor and the opportunity to become Chairman of the Board of the Association of European Businesses, and I look forward to continuing my work in this new capacity to contribute to the further development of the Association. For over thirty years, the AEB has consistently supported European companies in Russia and helped maintain open channels of communication. International companies feel that the Russian market remains open to them and continue to adapt to the new conditions. I am pleased that the new composition of the AEB Board has retained a number of members who have been on the Board for many years, while at the same time being strengthened by new players representing major European companies. In my new role, I plan to further develop constructive dialogue between the Board and AEB members in order to better understand the current needs of member companies and respond promptly to their requests."
