Mads Nipper will formally replace outgoing Chairman of the Board Niels Erik Hedeager following the company’s annual general assembly in January 2026. Starting in 1989, Niels Erik became CEO in 1997. He held this role until 2017, when he assumed the position of Chairman.
“We would like to express our sincere appreciation towards Niels Erik for his 37 years of dedication to MacArtney Underwater Technology.

“After 37 fantastic years at the helm of MacArtney and with a record year in both earnings and turnover, it is a good time for me to step down and proudly pass on the baton,” said Niels Erik Hedeager.
