REWE International relies on continuity: Treaties of the executive boards extended!

In a significant realignment of the leadership at REWE International AG, it was announced that the contracts of the board members Marcel Haraszti and Michael Jäger were extended prematurely by the end of 2028. This was decided by the supervisory board on Monday. The contract extension comes in a challenging competitive environment in which Rewe wants to consolidate its position, and signals the continuity in the management team of the group of companies, which also includes the Billa and Bipa brands. In addition, Espen B. Larsen's contract, which takes care of the full range in Eastern Europe, was extended last year until the end of 2026, such as Leadersnet.at reported.

Jan Kunath, the deputy chairman of the Rewe Group and chairman of the supervisory board of REWE International AG, said that trust and constructive cooperation in the management team were decisive for this decision. He emphasized the passion and the commitment shown so far with which the group has made and implemented significant decisions and that one would like to rely on the successful growth course in Austria and the international markets. In addition, the REWE Group plans to further intensify its activities in Central and Eastern Europe as well as in Italy, which is href = "https://rewe-group.at/en/newsroom/2022/01/reweinternational-ag-management-team-extended-unil-the-end-of-2025"> rewee-group.at underpowered.
