On December 29, 2023, 4flow completed the transformation of its legal structure from a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft or AG) to a European public company (Societas Europaea). The global provider of supply chain consulting, software and managed services now operates as 4flow SE.
More than 20 years after its founding, 4flow has developed into a multinational corporation with international customer and employee structures. After its transformation to the internationally recognized legal structure SE, 4flow is now even better prepared to continue its global path.
“With our transformation to 4flow SE, we’re taking an important next step as an international business with a global focus. Today, there are more 4flow team members outside of Germany than within Germany –we support our customers worldwide. It simply makes sense to choose a legal structure that reflects our current corporate structure”, said Kai Althoff, CEO of 4flow.
The transformation to an SE affects only the parent company 4flow AG, which will continue to be headquartered in Berlin, Germany. All other national and international subsidiaries will maintain their existing legal structures. For customers who have collaborated with 4flow AG, there will be only minor changes. Documents, letters and signatures will now be marked with 4flow SE. Bank information, email addresses and office addresses will remain the same. Existing contracts are not affected, as the transformation is purely a change in the legal structure.
