Huber has "finally" found its president". The Austrian underwear group has announced the appointment of Martin Zieger as its new CEO. He succeeds Micha Siebenhandl, who left last August. Karl Michael Millauer, president of the supervisory board, has been serving as the interim head since September. 

 
Huber, which, in addition to Homs, notably owns the brands Skinny and Hanro, has chosen a retail specialist to lead the ranks. Martin Zieger's career highlights include a place on the board of Palmers, the Austrian lingerie chain from 1994 to 2000, which he left to take on the role of CEO of Charles Vögele. From 2006 to 2010 he was the CEO of Hunkemöller, a wholesaler and retailer of lingerie, homewear, etc.

Founded in 1907, Huber Holding belongs to Chinese-Australian group Benger Brands Ltd. In 2014, before the integration of Hom, the company recorded 109 million euros in revenue.
