For example, he worked as a project leader and product manager at Voest-Alpine Industrieanlagenbau and on international consultancy projects for McKinsey & Company before setting up and running the engineering and consultancy company Festool Engineering for the Festool Group. Since 2012, he has been CEO at the Tirolean family-owned paint company Adler. His main task there was to develop and implement a viable strategy for internationalisation and growth, a task which has now been completed.

Johann Eggerth will take over as General Manager of the Business Division Switzerland/Austria from Johann Reiter who – as already announced in February 2017 – will assume full responsibility for the operational management of Vetropack Group with effect from 1 January 2018. Until his successor arrives on 1 March 2018, Johann Reiter will continue as General Manager of the Business Division Switzerland/Austria alongside his work as Group CEO.
