Alessandro Dazza, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AMAG Austria Metall AG, stated:
„With Helmut Kaufmann, a highly experienced executive will leave AMAG after almost two decades. During this time, Helmut Kaufmann has significantly shaped AMAG, decisively contributed to its strategic development, has taken important decisions for the future, and further advanced the Group as a whole and its specialty products towards technological leadership. On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank Helmut Kaufmann for his outstanding achievements and successes for AMAG Austria Metall AG.“

„At the same time, we are pleased that with the appointment of AMAG’s Chief Sales Officer Victor Breguncci as the new CEO, the reappointment of Claudia Trampitsch as CFO and the appointment of Alexander Moser‑Parapatits as CSIO, we are able to ensure a seamless generational transition and stability within the Management Board. It is particularly pleasing that the future Management Board team has been formed through internal appointments“, Dazza continued.

Helmut Kaufmann, who will step down as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer of AMAG Austria Metall AG as of 30 April 2026, stated:
„After almost two decades at AMAG, I would like to thank the entire workforce, my fellow Management Board members and the Supervisory Board for the excellent cooperation and for what we have achieved together. In an environment characterized by impressive research results, rapid technological developments and political challenges, AMAG and its specialty products have been successfully positioned as leaders in technology and sustainability in the international market. I wish the new Management Board team and the entire company all the best and every success for the future.“

Victor Breguncci, Chief Sales Officer and designated Chief Executive Officer of AMAG Austria Metall AG effective 1 May 2026, stated:
„I am honored by the trust placed in me by the Supervisory Board and look forward to leading AMAG as CEO from 1 May 2026. Together with our team, we will build on the company’s strong foundations and continue its successful development. In what remains a challenging market environment for the European aluminum industry, we will stay firmly focused on our strong customer orientation, the high quality of our products and our recognized position as a reliable premium partner. At the same time, we will further strengthen our sales activities to unlock new markets and applications for our products and services.“

As of 1 May 2026, the Management Board of AMAG Austria Metall AG will therefore consist of CEO Victor Breguncci, CFO Claudia Trampitsch, and CSIO Alexander Moser‑Parapatits.
