Lenzing’s CEO cuts contract short
27/03/2015
Mr Untersperger has worked for the company for 30 years but informed the board he would not be available for an extension of his contract, which expires at the end of March 2016, and asked to leave early. He has been CFO since 1999 and as CEO since 2009.
Chairman Hanno Bästlein said: “With the outstanding expertise and the broad experience of Peter Untersperger as CEO, Lenzing managed to successfully restructure the company despite the challenging international market, and to realise the state-of-the-art Tencel production plant.”
Mr Doboczky has worked in various management positions for the Dutch Life Science & Material Science group.
Mr Bästlein added: “With his international industrial expertise, his close to ten years of management experience in Asia and his strong technical background, Stefan Doboczky is ideally suited to lead the Lenzing Group towards further growth.”
