After 36 years with the company, Thorsten Schmidt stepped down as chief executive officer of Kraiburg Austria, effective 1 April. He has been succeeded in this role by Stefan Mayrhofer.

According to the retreading materials supplier, Schmidt is now “preparing himself for his well-earned retirement.” His career with Kraiburg Austria includes leading positions in production, technical service and sales. He was appointed the company’s chief executive officer in 2012.

“In this function, Thorsten Schmidt succeeded in not only maintaining the company’s market position with the high-quality products from Kraiburg – especially for tyre retreads – in these economically demanding times, but also in strengthening and expanding it with further development and innovations,” comments Kraiburg Austria. “His thoughts and actions were always guided by customer orientation, pragmatism and creativity for the benefit of the staff and shareholders of the company that is today still run as a family business.”

A strong & major company

Stefan Mayrhofer is supported in his new role by the previous authorised representative Erwin Hitzginger as deputy chief executive officer. After posts at Semperit Technical Products and Palfinger, Stefan Mayrhofer joined Kraiburg in 2009, initially managing business with new tyre manufacturers. The company appointed him deputy chief executive officer in 2012. This gave the 45-year-old ample opportunity to prepare for taking over the management of the firm and its 330 employees.

“I am convinced that, under the new leadership, Kraiburg Austria will stay a strong and major company in the markets in which they are active and will continue to develop successfully. I wish my successor Stefan Mayrhofer great success together with that portion of luck that is sometimes necessary to achieve ambitious goals,” says Thorsten Schmidt.
