Gerald Mayer has been Chief Financial Officer at AMAG since 2007 and was appointed Chief Executive Officer effective March 1, 2019.

Gerald Mayer, the CEO of AMAG Austria Metall AG, comments: "I am grateful that I have been able to contribute to the development of AMAG in 16 years on the Management Board together with an outstanding team. AMAG was able to more than double its revenue during this time and is undoubtedly recognised worldwide as a producer of high-quality speciality products with a proven recycling strength. I am convinced of the positive future of AMAG, but for me, the time has come for a professional change. I would like to thank the Supervisory Board, my colleagues on the Management Board and the entire AMAG team for the trust they have placed in me and their understanding for this step."

Victor Breguncci joined the Management Board in 2019, and his contract was similarly renewed early in 2021, extending his term until May 31, 2026. This extension of contracts ensures the stability of the Management Board team.
