Willibald Ehrenhöfer: New impulse for finance and business in Styria!

Willibald Ehrenhöfer, the long-time head of business of the Mayr-Melnhof-Saurau forest group, will be presented as a new state council for finance, business and science in Styria. This decision was enthusiastically accepted by the agricultural and forest companies in Austria, since Ehrenhöfer is considered a recognized expert for the interests of the regional economy. "We are very pleased that Willibald Ehrenhöfer will become a profound connoisseur of the domestic economy of the new state councilor in Styria," said Konrad Mylius, President of the Agriculture and Forestry Business. Ehrenhöfer, who made a steep career in the forest and wood industry, is seen as an ideal candidate to master and further expand the challenges of the Styrian economy, reported APA-OTS.

The new occupation came to the federal government shortly after the sending of Barbara Eibinger-Miedl (ÖVP) as State Secretary. In the expectation of who would follow her, speculation has been intensively speculated in the past few weeks. 52-year-old, born in Feldbach, brings Rich experiences from his previous career. He was previously forest director at Mayr-Melnhof and has acquired numerous services in forestry. "We are very happy to have a real man with expertise in business and finance on board with Ehrenhöfer," said ÖVP boss Manuela Khom. The official election of the new state council will take place on Thursday in the state parliament, as the Krone reported.

Ehrenhöfer is a career changer who studied forestry and wood and previously worked in various functions, including in the Chamber of Agriculture. His expertise as well as his commitment to the economy and the Styria forestry companies should have a positive effect on his new role. The new regional council is grateful for the trust and sees the office as a "great honor and challenge". His transition to the state government marks a significant step in order to further promote the interests of forestry and the regional economy in the political landscape, as well as OTS reported.
