Thomas Elsner retires from the company management and hands over to Lina and Bastian Elsner

Lina Elsner and Bastian Elsner have officially become part of the management of the family-owned company Elsner Elektronik GmbH since 1 July 2023.

Thomas Elsner, who previously held the management together with his wife Jutta, is retiring but will continue to be available in an advisory capacity. Thus, the new management now consists of Bastian, Jutta and Lina Elsner. This step marks a major milestone in the succession process within the family business.

Lina Elsner, who began her succession at the company in 2019, is responsible for managing the areas of finance, controlling and human resources. During this time, she has, among other things, pushed environmental management projects, such as the recently completed ISO 14001 certification.

Bastian Elsner, has been with the family business since 2020 and, as Head of Sales, has already launched the subsidiaries Elsner Middle East and Elsner Asia-Pacific. In addition to marketing, he will also be increasingly involved in product development and head product management in the future.

With Lina and Bastian Elsner joining the company, Elsner Elektronik remains a family-run business.

"We are very proud to take over the management of our traditional family business and look forward to leading Elsner Elektronik into the future with the same vision and motivation as our parents," says Lina Elsner.

"Our focus will be on digitalisation projects in different areas of the company in order to optimally position Elsner Elektronik in this respect as well. In addition, we are working intensively on the development of new, innovative products to keep providing our customers with optimal solutions for the convenient use of their smart building," adds Bastian Elsner.

The family-owned company Elsner Elektronik was founded in 1990 by Jutta and Thomas Elsner and is well-known in the field of building automation systems. Controllers and sensors, for example for the KNX system, are developed and produced at the company's headquarters in Ostelsheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg. The intelligent building technology "Made in Germany" makes private and business buildings worldwide future-proof, safe and energy-efficient.

Legal guarantee

Harmonised EU legal guarantee notice

Minimum two-year legal guarantee protection for goods sold in the European Union.

Consumers can claim their rights under the legal guarantee of conformity, for example if goods:

  • do not match the description;
  • do not function as intended.

Sellers are liable for any lack of conformity which existed when the goods were delivered, and which becomes apparent within the legal guarantee period. Sellers in such a situation are required to offer:

  • free repair or free replacement;
  • in some cases, a price reduction or full reimbursement.

Some countries have a longer legal guarantee period. For second-hand goods, a shorter period may apply, but not less than one year.

What to do if you receive non-conforming goods:

  1. Contact the seller as soon as possible to report the issue;
  2. Provide proof of purchase, such as a receipt, invoice, or bank statement.

Sellers and producers may also offer commercial guarantees, which apply independently from the legal guarantee. For example, you may see this GARAN label representing a commercial guarantee of durability offered by the producer at no additional cost and covering the entire good.
