Semperit AG Holding announced that at it's Supervisory Board meeting, Gerfried Eder was appointed as a member of the Executive Board (Chief Industrial Officer) starting 1 July 2023. Gerfried Eder was previously Managing Director & Director Sales of the Semperflex segment (hydraulic and industrial hoses) and was responsible for more than 30% of group revenue in 2022. He has been with Semperit since 2000, has held various management positions within the Semperit Group and will assume responsibility for the Industrial Applications division.

Gerfried Eder and his team have developed hose manufacturing into the most important production branch in terms of revenue and profitability in recent years. The Supervisory Board also approved the premature termination of COO Kristian Brok’s Executive Board contract with great regret: Kristian Brok will leave the company at his own request on 30 June 2023, to pursue a new professional challenge.
