The 41-year-old Upper Austrian has extensive international experience in management positions. Before joining the Schwarzmüller Group, he was VP Corporate Controlling at the Austrian fibre manufacturer Lenzing AG, where he was responsible for the Group’s global steering mechanisms. Prior to that, he gained financial experience in various management positions at Siemens and NordLB in Germany and Singapore. In his new role, he will be responsible for Finance, Legal and Human Resources at the Schwarzmüller Group.
‘I am looking forward to further expanding the competitiveness of the Schwarzmüller Group together with the dedicated employees and the strategic partner Krone,’ explains Eckmair. ‘The innovative strength in the areas of sustainability and lightweight construction as well as the high quality standards for customised transport solutions have convinced me. In addition, the Group’s existing production network offers a strong basis for future growth.‘
The previous CFO Daniela Lorenzer has decided to leave the company at her own request after successful years in the management of the Schwarzmüller Group in order to pursue new professional goals.
