Alfred Mölzer, new managing director of Gira Austria GmbH
Salzburg (Austria) The German smart home pioneer Gira is aware of a change in the management of its Austrian sales subsidiary, Gira Austria GmbH: Mag. Alfred Mölzer will be appointed managing director from March 1; he succeeds Franz Einwallner. Franz Einwallner, who has very successfully built up and managed the sales of the German family company in Austria over the past thirty years, will retire on June 30th.
For the traditional family company Gira (founded in Radevormwald in 1905), Austria is one of the most successful global markets, alongside its home market. The products of the full-service provider of intelligent system solutions for electronic and networked digital building control are now available in more than 45 countries – from switches to control, communication and security systems to smart homes. Technology and products from Gira are also used, for example, in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, in Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, in the Olympic Stadium in Kiev or in the Banyan Tree Hotel in Shanghai. As a founding member of KNX, Gira has contributed to making Austria smarter from the start.
