WITTMANN Group Announces Leadership Restructure

The Austrian WITTMANN Group is restructuring its management. The business divisions Injection Moulding Machines, Wittmann Battenfeld GmbH, based in Kottingbrunn, and Automation and Auxiliary Equipment, Wittmann Technology GmbH, based in Vienna, will be consolidated under dual leadership effective May 1st, 2026. This leadership will consist of the two owners, Michael Wittmann and Dr Werner Wittmann with Rainer Weingraber leaving the group of companies at the end of April.

“With this new structure, we are consistently implementing the ‘It’s all WITTMANN’ strategy, launched in 2022, all the way up to the executive management level”,  says Michael Wittmann. “Our high level of expertise in providing comprehensive solutions from a single source is a strong competitive advantage that we will expand even more intensively worldwide through this consolidation.”

Rainer Weingraber joined the group in 2019 as CEO of WITTMANN BATTENFELD GmbH. “Mr Weingraber has steered the injection moulding machine division through challenging times and played a key role in driving the integration of all business units,” emphasises Michael Wittmann. “We thank Mr Weingraber for his dedication and achievements over the past seven years and wish him all the best for the future.”

From material handling to injection moulding machines, processing technologies, and temperature control equipment, through to inline recycling as well as the automation and digitalisation of injection moulding processes, the WITTMANN Group offers all components for injection moulding processing, developed and manufactured in-house. Whether purchasing individual solutions or integrated production cells, users benefit from the in-depth understanding of the entire process possessed by the global WITTMANN team.
