Gregory Oswald becomes new Managing Director at Wesco and Berbel

Gregory Oswald (44 years old) is taking over the management with immediate effect. To ensure a seamless handover, Irina Leutwyler and Robert Brandon will continue to support the company for a transitional period.

Barbara Borra, CEO of Franke Home Solutions, comments: "Gregory Oswald is ideally suited for this new role. With his many years of experience in management positions and his comprehensive understanding of the DACH market and his expertise in product management and marketing, he will continue the successful path of Wesco and Berbel. We respect the decision of Irina Leutwyler and Robert Brandon and regret their decision. We would like to thank both of them for their support in the Acquisition of Wesco and Berbel by the Franke Group last year. We also appreciate their willingness to assist us with the integration for a while longer. We wish them all the best and every success for the future."

Gregory Oswald, who has been with Franke since 2015 and was most recently Managing Director of the DACH region for Franke Home Solutions, is looking forward to the new challenge: "I am proud to take on responsibility for two such renowned brands and look forward to working with the teams to drive future development."

Irina Leutwyler emphasizes: "I regret that I have to leave the Franke Group for personal reasons and am still looking forward to the coming months in order to be able to set the initial course for the long-term continuation and further development of Wesco and Berbel together with Gregory Oswald and Robert Brandon as part of the integration."

Gregory Oswald's previous responsibilities as Cluster Head DACH will be taken over on an interim basis by Corrado Mura, Vice President Home Solutions EMEA.
