BG‑Graspointner Group completes generational transition:

<h2>Family succession and strategic advancement </h2>

In its 62nd year, the BG‑Graspointner Group is approaching an important milestone: the transition to the third generation. Within the founding family, Friedrich Graspointner is handing over responsibility to his daughter, Bernadette Eisl. Simultaneously, the operational helm passes from long-serving CEO Klemens Wiese to the future head of the company as part of a long-planned transition. These two layers – family and organization – are tightly interwoven to ensure both continuity and future readiness.

Carefully prepared family and leadership transition The generational handover has been prepared over many years within the shareholder circle. Bernadette Eisl joined the company eight years ago, for the past five she has served on the executive board and, together with her father and the senior management team led by Klemens Wiese, has been systematically groomed for her forthcoming role. “A transition of this magnitude requires time and clear objectives. Our aim was to shape a structured process that creates stability and defines responsibilities unequivocally,” Eisl explains. Value‑Driven Leadership in a New Generation Eisl’s leadership style is characterized by openness, reliability, and a strong sense of responsibility. Her mandate is straightforward: preserve proven strengths, carry forward the culture of the BG‑Graspointner Group, and steer the company decisively into its next development phase. With the shift in both family leadership and the CEO role, she is pursuing a course that safeguards continuity while driving key future initiatives forward. New Role for Klemens Wiese: International Business Development Effective mid‑2026, Klemens Wiese will assume responsibility for international business development and strategic projects. Leveraging his market and sales expertise, he will drive expansion into high‑growth regions and new business fields, as well as oversee acquisitions. Expansion of Executive Board Looking ahead to the next development stage, Francesco Vitale will join the group’s executive board as Co‑CEO in mid‑2026, taking responsibility for the commercial division, among other areas. He brings extensive industry expertise and international experience, adding a strategically valuable perspective to the leadership team. In addition to his managerial duties, Vitale will become a shareholder, reinforcing the long‑term orientation of the BG‑Graspointner Group’s leadership and embedding entrepreneurial thinking more deeply within the organization. Strategic Guidelines 2026‑2030 With the generational shift, the BG‑Graspointner Group sets a clear growth trajectory. A key strategic focus lies on the BG‑FILCOTEN® product lines, where targeted volume growth is planned to further cement technological leadership in high‑performance concrete. At the same time, the Group is entering a new, future-relevant business field with its expansion into stormwater management. Internationally, the Group will concentrate on non‑European growth markets while strengthening its presence in core European markets. The strategy is complemented by a robust ecological orientation, sharpening sustainable solutions as a key differentiator. Looking Forward Together Both the family and the management emphasize the importance of this forward‑looking, partnership‑based transition. The longstanding collaboration among Bernadette Eisl, Friedrich Graspointner, Klemens Wiese, and the soon‑expanded leadership team with Francesco Vitale provides a solid foundation for the coming years, built on trust, clarity, and shared strategic direction. The generational change marks not only the conclusion of a successful era but, more importantly, the beginning of a new chapter: the BG‑Group moves forward, strengthened and clearly oriented toward its next stage of development.
