About Me
Wolfgang Leitner heads listed Austrian plant and equipment manufacturer Andritz; he said in July 2021 that he would step down as CEO become chairman of the board. A chemist by training, Leitner joined Andritz in 1987, became CEO in 1994 and took a 26% stake in the company in 1999. He eventually turned Andritz into one of Austria's largest companies. In 2018, Andritz completed the biggest acquisition in its history, buying North Carolina based Xerium Technologies for $833 million. Leitner's initial wealth stems from the sale of Pharmavit, part of pharmaceutical outfit Genericon he founded, for $110 million in 1995.
