Jakob Mosser is to leave the Schur Flexibles Group, who founded the company in 2012 and has managed the company as CEO since that time.
Following the company’s successful expansion, he provided support last year in the sale of the company to private equity investor Lindsay Goldberg. The company now intends to focus more strongly on organic and valuebased growth.
“We thank Jakob A. Mosser for his work over the past years. Without his tireless commitment there would be no Schur Flexibles Group. We wish him all the best for his professional and personal future”, said Thomas Unger, Chairman of the company’s Advisory Board.
Until the new CEO joins the company, Michael Schernthaner, Christian Kolarik and Bernhard Mumelter will jointly manage the company.
“The main emphasis of our work will be to create value for our customers through our products and services,” Unger stated.
The Schur Flexibles Group with its headquarters in Baden near Vienna and around 1,400 employees has specialized in innovative, high quality and made-to-measure high-barrier packaging solutions for the food, tobacco and pharmaceutical industries.
