Austria’s Wittmann Group has announced a management reorganization at Wittmann Battenfeld GmbH, the company responsible for manufacturing and marketing injection molding machines.

Rainer Weingraber, who has led the company as CEO since 2019, will leave at the end of the month, handing over to a joint leadership team made up of Michael Wittmann and Werner Wittmann, the owners and co-CEOs of Wittmann Technology GmbH, the group company focused on automation and auxiliary equipment.

“With this new structure, we are consistently implementing the ‘It’s all WITTMANN’ strategy—launched in 2022—all the way up to the executive management level,” says Michael Wittmann (left in the photo). “Our high level of expertise in providing comprehensive solutions from a single source is a strong competitive advantage that we will expand even more intensively worldwide through this consolidation.”

“Weingraber has steered the injection molding machine division through challenging times and played a key role in driving the integration of all business units,” Michael Wittmann adds. “We thank him for his commitment, for the results achieved in recent years, and wish him all the best for the future.”

Headquartered in Vienna and operating 10 production plants across seven countries, the Wittmann Group is active in injection molding, supplying everything needed on the shop floor, from machines and automation to auxiliary equipment for material handling, drying, mold temperature control and inline recycling of sprues.
