Gerald Prinzhorn, who has been successfully working for Schmid Industrieholding since 2011 – and as CEO of the Baumit Group since 2020 – is following the family’s call and leaving the company to start a new career at Prinzhorn Holding.
“We would like to thank Gerald Prinzhorn for his outstanding leadership and commitment, which has made a decisive contribution to the success and development of the Baumit Group,” said Robert Schmid, managing partner of the family-owned company Schmid Industrieholding.
Dorijan Rajkovic (49, picture above; photo: Baumit Group), most recently Managing Director of Baumit Croatia, is the new CEO of the Baumit Group with immediate effect. Rajkovic has extensive industry expertise and can look back on a successful career spanning more than 15 years in senior positions within Schmid Industrieholding. Since 2008, he has been Managing Director of ITV-Murexin in Most Rasa, Croatia. In 2017, he took over the role of Managing Director of Baumit Croatia. Under his leadership, Baumit was able to build an extremely successful position in the market together with partners and customers.
„Baumit is a great and strong brand. We need to establish and maintain Baumit as a premium brand with the highest recognition value and the greatest reputation in our industry throughout Europe. To achieve this, we will focus on the markets, customers and their needs. The Europe-wide need for thermal building renovation is currently making facade insulation a game changer. Baumit facade insulation helps save hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 every year. With this expertise, we are positioned as renovation experts and want to take on the leadership in this area,“ says Dorijan Rajkovic, setting the course for the coming years and looking forward to the new challenge as CEO of the Baumit Group.
