T.CON GmbH & Co. KG , the German-based SAP consulting firm specialized in the mill industry, begins 2026 with a deliberately planned generational change in its executive management. Karl Fuchs, co-founder of the SAP Gold Partner and long-term CEO, transferred overall operational responsibility to Thomas Blöchl effective January 1, 2026. Fuchs will remain closely connected to the company and will continue to support Thomas Blöchl in an advisory capacity as Co-CEO.
Thomas Blöchl, previously Managing Director, COO and shareholder of T.CON, has taken on the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). With this new leadership structure, T.CON ensures continuity while enabling a structured transition into the company’s next phase of development.
Thomas Blöchl has been part of T.CON since 2006 and has been a member of both the management board and the shareholder group since 2019. In his previous role as COO, he was responsible for operational management, organizational development and key growth initiatives. His appointment as CEO stands for stability, entrepreneurial responsibility from within the company, and deep internal as well as market-related expertise.
“I am proud and grateful that Thomas, as a long-standing employee, managing director and shareholder, is willing to take on this responsibility,” says Karl Fuchs. “He knows T.CON, our team, our culture, and the market environment extremely well. I am convinced that he is the right CEO for our next phase. In my role as Co-CEO, I will continue to support him in an advisory capacity.”
The change at the top of the company is part of a comprehensive, long-term generational transition within the executive management. At the beginning of 2025, co-founder Michael Gulde, who had been responsible for the company’s financial management as CFO for more than 25 years, handed over his role to Eva Heuer. With the turn of the year 2026, Gulde has now fully withdrawn from operational business. Eva Heuer, who has been with T.CON since 2002 and is a shareholder of the company, now fully assumes the CFO role.
New CEO Thomas Blöchl sees the leadership transition as a targeted impulse for the future of T.CON:
“Change has always been a driver of development at T.CON. We are using this step to continue growing strategically, to further strengthen our market position, and to align ourselves even more closely with the needs of our customers.”
For 2026, the management team has defined clear guiding principles: greater market orientation, greater clarity, and greater impact. The reorganization of management structures and the creation of additional areas of responsibility are intended to align the organization even more closely with customer needs and market requirements.
“I am very much looking forward to working with a leadership team in which I know that every individual acts with high competence, passion and loyalty in the best interests of T.CON,” says Blöchl (43).
