In the context of the new shareholder structure of MAN Ferrostaal AG, there are changes in the Supervisory and Executive Board of the company. Rainer Wieltsch, former Member of the Board of the Austrian Industrial Holding ÖIAG and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of OMV AG, has been appointed chairman of the Supervisory Board. In his former Supervisory Board functions, Wieltsch has worked for many years with IPIC, the majority owner of MAN Ferrostaal. Alyazia Ali Al Kuwaiti, portfolio manager of IPIC, is Deputy Chairman.
