diversification strategy
Vienna, January 17, 2025 – The Supervisory Board of Wienerberger AG has
decided to extend the mandate of CEO Heimo Scheuch (58) until the Annual

has successfully driven the strategic transformation of the company into a
provider of innovative integrated solutions. Recently, he has taken
decisive steps into growth markets, particularly in the areas of
renovation, refurbishment, and energy and water management. A milestone in
this journey was the acquisition and successful integration of Terreal, a
leading provider of roof renovation and refurbishment solutions, last
year. This acquisition, the largest in the company’s history, established
wienerberger as the first European expert in pitched roofs for innovative
roof solutions, playing a pivotal role in the renovation of the building
stock. Alongside this focus on sustainable growth is Heimo Scheuch’s
strong commitment to the goals of the European Green Deal. wienerberger’s
ecological building solutions are advancing the green transformation of
the entire industry. We are determined to continue this pioneering role
and the successful path of sustainable growth together. The Supervisory
Board looks forward to further collaboration with Heimo Scheuch as CEO.”

reappointment: “I thank the Supervisory Board for its trust. Thanks to our
clear value-driven growth strategy, we are excellently positioned to seize
the opportunities of future market recoveries. We will consistently pursue
this successful course of sustainable and profitable development – through
targeted acquisitions and ongoing organic growth. By continuously
developing new solutions for resource-efficient, ecological, and
affordable construction and renovation, we actively embrace our social
responsibility. Our vision remains unchanged: to improve the quality of
life for current and future generations. I will continue to dedicate
myself fully to this goal – together with the Supervisory Board, my
Executive Board colleagues, and wienerberger’s more than 20,000
employees.”

and economics. He began his career in corporate finance and has been with
wienerberger since 1996. As CEO since August 1, 2009, he has been
responsible for the strategic and operational development of the company.
