11 December 2024 | 

As Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the former VOEST-ALPINE AG and VOEST-ALPINE STAHL AG, Claus Raidl played a key role in reorganizing and restructuring the previously nationalized steel group between 1986 and 1992. From 1991 to 2007 he was Chairman of the Management Board of the newly founded BÖHLER-UDDEHOLM AG, and after that company was taken over by voestalpine AG he was appointed to the Management Board of voestalpine AG, where he served until 2010.

Dr. Raidl set the course for today’s voestalpine Group.
