The 58-year-old will take up his new post on June 1st and then form the management quartet of the group with CEO Rohit Aggarwal, CFO Nico Reiner and Christian Skilich (Chief Pulp and Chief Technology Officer), said Lenzing. In the past few weeks, the board had only consisted of three members after Chief Transformation Officer Walter Bickel.

Among other things, Kasperkovitz held various management positions at the international packaging and paper manufacturer Mondi PLC and the freight transport company Rail Cargo Austria AG during his career.
