Patrik Wohlhauser, CEO of the Franke Group, said: “We thank Barbara Borra – also on behalf of the board of directors of Franke – for her loyalty, strong commitment and valuable contributions to the growth of our division over the past 7 years. Under her leadership, we strengthened our market position, launched pioneering product innovations, and expanded our international presence – even in a challenging market environment. Furthermore, notable milestones were achieved that advanced the strategic development of Franke Home Solutions, including significant improvements in operational efficiency. We wish her all the best for this new chapter in her life.”

“With Corrado Mura, we are gaining an experienced leader from within our own ranks who not only has extensive industry knowledge and many years of international experience, but also a strong track record.
