Mayer leaves – big impact: AMAG boss quits at the end of the year

Big effect at AMAG: Gerald Mayer, CEO of the aluminum producer based in Ranshofen since 2019, will vacate the executive chair at the end of the year. “The time has come for me to make a career change,” says the Mühlviertler, who has also been the company’s CFO since 2007.

For his 60th birthday, TGW boss Harald Schröpf is giving himself a change next year, Greiner AG and long-term boss Axel Kühner agreed on an amicable separation – and now AMAG boss Gerald Mayer is also leaving. He has been from Mühlviertel since 2007 CFO at the aluminum producer, and also Chairman of the Board since March 1, 2019. Despite a contract that runs until the end of 2025, he has now asked the supervisory board to terminate his contract early. Reason: Mayer wants to pursue new professional challenges. Supervisory board chairman has “understanding” “We regret the step, but at the same time we also show understanding for it,” reacted AMAG supervisory board chairman Herbert Ortner. The search for a successor will begin immediately. Mayer will be in office until the end of the year. An orderly handover is planned.
