Wienerberger AG CEO Heimo Scheuch resigned due to health reasons and was succeeded by Interim CEO Gerhard Hanke, previously CFO and COO Central & East. The company continues its strategic focus on sustainable building materials following a major transformation under Scheuch's leadership.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Other Verticals.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The CEO change at Wienerberger creates a leadership gap you can exploit if you offer executive support or strategic consulting in building materials. Gerhard Hanke’s interim role signals steady hands but also a window for rivals and partners to reset relationships.
