Lenzing said it has reached an amicable agreement with Doboczky to terminate his contract prematurely after he informed the supervisory board he will not be available for a further extension of his contract from 2022.
“I would like to thank Stefan Doboczky very much for his outstanding work for Lenzing. Especially during the transformation to a global specialty fibre company and sustainability champion, Doboczky was the driving force in a leading position,” says chairman of the supervisory board, Peter Edelmann.

“Thanks to its far-sighted leadership, Lenzing AG is on a stable and profitable growth path with the aim of being climate-neutral by 2050. And that is the challenging environment of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Doboczky added: “The development and consistent implementation of Lenzing’s strategy has been the core of my work in recent years. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that now is the time for a personal change. The strategy is in place – now the time has come for new staff to carry them forward in operational channels. In any case, one thing is clear: Lenzing will always have a special place in my life. ”
Cord Prinzhorn has been appointed interim CEO. Prinzhorn has been on the supervisory board of Lenzing AG since May 2021 and will be available until a long-term solution has been found.
The board will immediately deal with the search for a successor for the position of CEO.
