Stephan Witte joins Elcowire in January
Elcowire is pleased to announce that Stephan Witte joins Elcowire in January 2026, with overall responsibility for Business Unit Rail. Stephan will be part of the Group Management Team and he succeeds Jan Siebert, who is moving into an advisory role.
Stephan brings over 20 years of combined technical and commercial experience from three of the largest companies within the Deutsche Bahn Group. He has held senior executive positions with a focus on managing railway and plant infrastructure across Germany, including large infrastructure project management, with full responsibility for delivering on project objectives.
With a significant network of technical experts and management-level contacts within the Deutsche Bahn Group and major metropolitan public transport organizations, Stephan strengthens Elcowire’s ability to support railway customers across the entire value chain.
His detailed knowledge of the railway infrastructure system and the production processes in plants makes Stephan a knowledgeable and customer-oriented consulting partner to our stakeholders.
“I love to act as an entrepreneur and take full responsibility for the business and further develop it in line with market needs, in close collaboration with team members and operations. I am delighted to have the opportunity to leverage the valuable expertise of the Elcowire Rail team and its interfaces to ensure the best possible customer journey at all times. I am very much looking forward to my new role, which combines sales, entrepreneurship, national and international customers, and technical products in a company whose values — such as sustainability and trust — correspond to my way of working,” says Stephan Witte.
