After 24 years of what the Egger Group describes as ‘extraordinary commitment’, Ulrich Bühler is to retire. He will leave the company at the end of April 2024.
Bühler joined Egger in 2000 as sales manager at the Brilon (DE) plant. Following this, he moved on to be responsible for the sales and marketing agendas in the Country Management Germany. In 2006, Bühler was appointed to Group Management and held this role until 2022, steering the fortunes of the Egger Group with responsibility for sales and marketing in the group management. During this time, the Egger Group attained strong growth and further internationalisation. He is also credited with successfully leading his areas of responsibility on the path to digitalisation and building up an extensive international sales network. Since 2022, Bühler was tasked with strategic projects and acted as a mentor and advisor to his successor, Michael Egger Jr, who has taken on the role of chief sales officer Egger Group.
Michael Egger Jr said: “We are a family company and are now bidding farewell to a very important member of our corporate family as he starts his well-deserved retirement. On behalf of the Egger family and the entire staff, I would like to thank Uli Bühler most sincerely for his strategic vision, his assertiveness, his loyalty and his lasting achievements for our company. For me personally, he was always a role model and mentor, and I was always able to rely on his support. We wish Uli Bühler and his family all the very best."
