Lehner has been active in the family company since June 2014 and has worked in several areas of the company. The 34-year-old son of CEO Günther Lehner most recently served as regional manager for North America. He takes the place of Früh as CFO and will be responsible for finance, IT, Ddigitisation and human resources.
 
“I am happy to welcome my son as a member of the board. This is an important step in our efforts to plan ahead for a generation change at the top of the company,” said Günther Lehner.

I am proud to be able to shape the future of our family company in my new role,” said Philipp Lehner.
