KLZ continues to grow – new strength in Financial & Sales

Growth needs structure

Growth sounds good – more projects, more customers, more revenue.
But real, sustainable growth needs more than just speed: it needs transparency, planning, and control. To ensure that ambitious goals don't turn into a blind flight, we have decided to specifically strengthen our team. Because the larger the projects become, the more important the ability to recognize developments early and steer them specifically becomes.

Why we are expanding our controlling	What we want to achieve with it
More projects at home and abroad	Clear figures and reliable forecasts
Increasing requirements in sales	Better overview of trends and margins
More complex processes	Faster, well-founded decisions
Sustainable growth	Stability instead of coincidence

In short: We don't just want to grow – we want to understand how we grow.
That's why we will rely even more on qualitative controlling in the future and are happy about support that makes exactly that possible.

New strength in the team

With Julia Havasi we have found exactly the reinforcement we were looking for: analytically strong, structured in thinking, and with a good sense for the dynamics between numbers and people. As Senior Financial & Sales Controller, Julia will be responsible for our financial and sales controlling in the future. Her goal: more clarity, more foresight, more substance in every decision.

Area of responsibility	Goal
Financial Controlling	Clean figures, clear structures, and comprehensible reports
Sales Controlling	Analyze sales figures, identify potential, derive trends
Forecasts & Analyses	Early assessment of market movements and investment opportunities
Reporting & Communication	Prepare complex data so that everyone understands it – quickly and precisely

Julia will thus play a central role in the further development of KLZ – as an interface between management, sales, and strategy.
Or, to put it more casually: she ensures that we not only know where we stand, but also where we are going.

Experience that connects

Understanding of numbers meets practical experience.
With over 13 years of experience in controlling and sales, Julia Havasi brings the ideal combination of analytical precision and entrepreneurial thinking. Her professional path:
After her training as a wholesale and foreign trade clerk, she gained early insights into business processes and developed a sense for clear processes.
At PETER HAHN GmbH, she rose step by step – from international sales assistance to Marketing Controlling Manager in the Sales & Marketing area. There she was responsible for the analysis of key figures, budget planning, and market observation and learned to use numbers as a basis for strategic decisions.
She then moved to GOLDNER GmbH (Madeleine), where she further deepened the topics of planning, forecasting, and reporting as a Specialist Planning & Analytics. Her work there was characterized by structured processes and close coordination with management and sales. Her strengths:

• Analytical thinking: She recognizes connections quickly and derives concrete recommendations for action from them.
• Structure and accuracy: She ensures clean processes and comprehensible data flows.
• Strategic sense: She understands how operational figures influence long-term developments.
• Clear communication: She brings complex content to the point in an understandable way – without numerical chaos.
• Practical orientation: She thinks solution-oriented and always with an eye on the benefit for the company.

With this mix of experience, structure, and communication strength, Julia is exactly the right person to accompany KLZ on its further growth towards the future.

Numbers with a view to the future

Numbers are not an end in themselves for us – they are the foundation of every good decision.
With Julia Havasi, the topic of controlling at KLZ gets a new depth: away from a pure look in the rearview mirror, towards a forward-looking analysis that makes opportunities and risks visible early on. Her focus is on putting numbers into context:
How are costs and margins developing in sales? What trends are emerging in the market? And where is it worth investing specifically instead of just reacting? Through her experience in the area of Planning & Analytics, Julia manages the balancing act between detail depth and overview. She ensures that information is prepared clearly, understandably, and relevant to decisions – a basis on which strategies can be reliably planned. For us, this means:

• We make decisions based on reliable data, not from the gut.
• We recognize market movements before they become a risk.
• We steer our growth more specifically and efficiently.

In this way, controlling does not simply become control – but orientation for the future.

Grow stably, act strategically

Growth is not a self-runner – it needs direction, control, and clear goals.
At KLZ, the focus is therefore not on fast "more", but on sustainable "better". We want to understand where growth arises, why it arises, and how we can promote it specifically. This is exactly where Julia's experience comes into play.
With her structured view of numbers and processes, she creates transparency in areas that often remain invisible in day-to-day business. She provides the basis for setting priorities correctly, using resources specifically, and recognizing opportunities before they pass us by. In this way, controlling at KLZ is not understood as a brake, but as a strategic tool that enables growth – stable, comprehensible, and long-term successful. Because those who understand their numbers not only steer better but also move more safely in a market that is constantly changing.

Looking ahead

With the reinforcement by Julia Havasi, KLZ is taking the next logical step: away from a purely operational view of numbers – towards a strategic steering that makes growth controlled, measurable, and sustainable. Julia's experience in financial & sales controlling creates the basis for recognizing developments early and making decisions with clarity. She ensures that we ask the right questions before we act:
Where does growth actually arise? Which areas provide long-term stability? And where is there a need for adjustment before it becomes a problem? Especially in an industry that is constantly changing, this look ahead is crucial.
Because sustainable growth for us does not mean constantly getting bigger, but being better positioned – with clear structures, reliable data, and an understanding of the dynamics of our markets. With Julia, we gain a colleague who shares this claim. She brings structure to complex processes, translates numbers into insights, and thus creates orientation – not only for management but for the entire team. In this way, KLZ will remain what makes us strong in the future: fast, reliable, and always one step ahead.
