Supervisory Board Resolves to Publicly Invite Applications to Fill a New Management Board Position with Responsibility for the Parcel & Logistics Division

In today’s meeting, the Supervisory Board of Austrian Post formally resolved to publicly invite applications to be submitted for a new position to be created on the Management Board, with responsibility for the Parcel & Logistics Division. The job announcement will be officially published as soon as possible, in accordance with the Public Appointments Act (Stellenbesetzungsgesetz).

In this context, Peter Michaelis, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Austrian Post, said: “Due to the dynamic competitive environment in the European postal and parcel delivery market, as well as the increasing importance of the Parcel & Logistics Division within Austrian Post, the Supervisory Board decided to delegate responsibility for these operations to a separate member of the Management Board. The Parcel & Logistics Division plays a significant role with the Austrian Post Group, as a result of the expansion strategy being pursued and the related integration of the new subsidiaries, as well as the company’s further internationalisation efforts.”

The new position will be filled as quickly as possible following the legally stipulated period of four weeks for potential candidates to submit applications. Up until the appointment of a new Management Board member, Anton Wais will continue to manage the Parcel & Logistics Division on an interim basis.
