Maximilian Weihe  |  Managing Director

Selecta Systems have long been known for being independently and family owned, speaking frequently of the Selecta ‘family’ and the promotion of the #bepartofthefamily message. Selecta are now in the third generation of Weihe leadership, with Maximilian Weihe at the helm.

Appointed Managing Director in 2017, and following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather was a proud moment for Max. "Being able to continue the family connection, whilst maintaining stability and solidarity within the business was of paramount importance in following on the Weihe legacy at Selecta. Hence, why we are here 40 years later, which is a great testament to those before me and the longstanding and established team that we have here at Selecta."

"There has always been a strong family feel and connection within Selecta, not only from my family’s direction, but also from those people, who’ve played an integral part within the business over the last 40 years. This is also extended to our customers of whom the majority, like ourselves, are family run or have similar close connections. That’s why, for me, and Selecta, we have been able to engage, work with and build strong relationships with people and businesses over the years. Creating that one big family."
