CEO
Innovation drives us! We have grown faster than our markets in the last decade by consistently focusing on innovation and thus changing our industry sustainably. For example, with highly insulating bricks or the development of modern pipe systems that supply thousands of households around the world with drinking water or ensure safe wastewater transport. But we have also developed new concepts for insulation and modern new buildings in the area of facade solutions.
Sustainability is an essential part of our strategy. Our products shall be reusable or recyclable. In addition, Wienerberger consciously pays attention to biodiversity. At all of our more than 200 locations, we focus on the preservation of biodiversity. Every year, we produce products that can be used to build a city with more than 200,000 inhabitants. It is therefore particularly important for us to contribute to the decarbonization of our planet. For this reason, we invest substantial resources annually to continuously optimize our industrial base.
And this is Wienerberger – a world of innovation and sustainability. We at Wienerberger, we care and we commit.
