In addition, Supervisory Board Chairman Josef Blazicek has resigned from his position. At the same time, Remus boss and restructurer Stephan Zöchling will be brought on board.

With the first sign of life after the opening of insolvency proceedings on December 17, Pierer Mobility AG announced its intention to reorganize its ownership structure. At the same time, the search for investors was officially launched, accompanied by Citibank.

This is to take place at the end of January, as Pierer Mobility AG announced on Thursday evening.

Supervisory Board and Management Board: two roles for Remus boss
At the same time, Pierer Mobility also revealed that the Supervisory Board will be restructured. Josef Blazicek resigned from his position as Chairman on Thursday. Stephan Zöchling will take his place on the Supervisory Board. Zöchling is the head of sports exhaust system specialist Remus, also bought the remaining assets of the former Sberbank in Vienna and has experience in restructuring in the automotive sector. At Pierer Industrie AG, which in turn includes Pierer Mobility AG, Zöchling has now even joined the board of Pierer Mobility AG and KTM AG co-head Gottfried Neumeister, from which Friedrich Roithner has resigned.
