VIG: Hartwig Löger takes over as Chairman of the NÜRNBERGER Supervisory Board; Gerhard Lahner becomes Deputy Chairman

Hartwig Löger takes over as Chairman of the Supervisory Board from Marion Ebentheuer, who will continue to contribute her expertise as a member of the NÜRNBERGER Supervisory Board.

Upon completion of the acquisition of NÜRNBERGER on 18 May, the Vienna Insurance Group announced the largest transaction in its history. Hartwig Löger commented on his appointment: “I am delighted by the trust that has been shown in this way. We will play an active role in NÜRNBERGER’s already successful transformation into a preventative insurance provider and will work together to further develop the company’s strategic direction.” 

Gerhard Lahner on the next steps: “Drawing on our Group’s expertise, we will be closely involved in developing NÜRNBERGER’s IT infrastructure and will thereby also optimise services for sales and customers.”

As the leading insurance group in Central and Eastern Europe, VIG provides insurance services to around 36 million customers through more than 50 insurance companies and pension funds in 30 countries. Its business model is based on a multi-brand strategy and local entrepreneurship – a strategic approach that goes hand in hand with maintaining the strong NÜRNBERGER brand’s local presence and identity.

The Supervisory Board of NÜRNBERGER Beteiligungs-AG is therefore composed as follows:

•    Hartwig Löger (Chair)
•    Eva Amschler (Deputy Chair)
•    Gerhard Lahner (Deputy Chair)
•    Christine Buchmann
•    Jan Duschek
•    Marion Ebentheuer
•    Peter Forster
•    Burkhard Oppenberg
