Effective April 1, 2025, Mr. Frank Pies has been appointed Managing Director of WEIG Holding and Cederwald Holding. In this role, he will be responsible for Finance, Group Controlling, and IT across our European operations.

He will also serve as the key liaison for these functions with WEIG-Latam in Paraguay, making him a central figure in shaping the financial and strategic direction of the group.

Mr. Pies has held various leadership positions within the WEIG Group for more than 15 years. His career began in 2010 as Executive Assistant to the Group’s CFO.
