The Supervisory Board of Frequentis AG today passed a unanimous resolution to appoint Norbert Haslacher as CEO for another 5 years until 15 April 2028.
"Norbert Haslacher has made a decisive contribution to the transformation of Frequentis into a globally operating software company over the past 7 years. In addition to his motivating manner for all employees, he also always has an open ear for new innovations and a strong focus on the needs of our customers," says Hannes Bardach, Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
Norbert Haslacher has been on the Executive Board of Frequentis since April 2015, first as Chief Sales Officer and since April 2018 as Chief Executive Officer. Since 2015, sales have increased by more than 50% to EUR 334 million. While the EBIT margin in 2018 was 5.5%, an EBIT margin of 6-8% is targeted for the current year 2022.
"Frequentis is on a growth path despite the pandemic years. We continue to strive for above-market growth over the years, as we see sufficient market potential for our products and solutions. The two segments, Air Traffic Management and Public Safety & Transport, are well positioned to become the global number 1 in other sub-markets in addition to the core market of civil air traffic control," explains Norbert Haslacher. "Based on excellently trained and motivated employees and the increasingly software-centric solutions for safety-critical control centres, Frequentis is a reliable partner for digitalisation and automation of customer processes".
