Lenzing board extends CEO’s contract

14/12/2017
The board of fibre producer Lenzing had extended Stefan Doboczky’s contract as CEO after he “helped to secure Lenzing’s long-term future”.

Mr Doboczky took over from Peter Untersperger in June 2015, and will now continue until at least the end of 2022.

Chairman Hanno Bästlein said: “In recent years, Stefan Doboczky and his colleagues on the board have been able to make excellent use of the favourable market conditions on the basis of the previous restructuring to transform an Austrian company with foreign investments into a truly global player with strong Austrian roots. 

“This has created the basis for consistently pursuing the growth strategy we have embarked on with the team, even under difficult conditions, and thus securing the long-term future of the Lenzing Group. We are very pleased that Stefan Doboczky will continue to dedicate himself to these tasks over the next five years.” 

The board also consists of chief commercial officer Robert van de Kerkhof, chief financial officer Thomas Obendrauf and chief technology officer Heiko Arnold.
