Following the resignation of Thomas Stadlhofer, the Frauenthal Handel Group has nominated Robert Just as its new CEO.

With around 1,800 employees, the Frauenthal Handel Group is the Austrian market leader in wholesale for sanitary, heating and installation technology and consists of the sales brands SHT, ÖAG, the civil engineering specialists Kontinentale and the online electrical wholesaler Elektromaterial.at. As CSO/COO, Robert Just will be responsible for Sales, Supply Chain Management, Business Development & Marketing, IT and Digitalisation from 1 March. Management Board member Erika Hochrieser will continue to be responsible for Finance, Legal and Human Resources. The rapid appointment from within the company's own ranks impressively demonstrates the broad, optimally positioned management team.

Robert Just has been with the Frauenthal Handel Group since 2015 and most recently held the position of Chief Supply Chain Officer. He emphasises: "My goal is to consistently implement and further develop our strategy of 'making customers even more successful' together with the management team. We rely on our unique full range of products from leading brand manufacturers, personal customer proximity, our top logistics and our digital offering for offices, warehouses and construction sites."
