HBC Holding is restructuring the management of its Austrian company. With Michael Patocka as CEO and Gerald Schwentner as Co-CEO, two proven industry experts and experienced leaders are assuming operational responsibility in one of the Group\u2019s most strategically important markets. <\/p>\n\n

They succeed Gert Schlossmacher, who initiated HBC\u2019s market entry in Austria and played a decisive role in driving the build-up of the business in recent years. Under his leadership, Austria developed into an established, high-growth market within the HBC Group. With the handover of operational responsibility, HBC is implementing the next consistent step in its growth strategy. Michael Patocka and Gerald Schwentner will continue the successful development on the ground and provide new momentum for further expansion. In his role as CEO of the German holding company, Gert Schlossmacher will remain closely connected to the Austrian company in the future and will actively support the further development of the Austria business. The new leadership structure thus combines strategic continuity with operational strength and creates the best conditions for HBC\u2019s next growth phase in Austria. <\/p>\n

\u00d6sterreich ist ein zentraler Wachstumsmarkt f\u00fcr uns. Mit Michael Patocka und Gerald Schwentner \u00fcbertragen wir die Verantwortung bewusst an zwei Unternehmerpers\u00f6nlichkeiten mit hoher operativer N\u00e4he. Die neue Struktur schafft klare Verantwortlichkeiten. Damit legen wir die Basis f\u00fcr kontinuierliches Wachstum in \u00d6sterreich und st\u00e4rken die Integration der Unternehmen innerhalb unserer Gruppe.<\/p>\n Gert Schlossmacher, CEO HBC-Gruppe<\/cite>\n <\/blockquote>\n\n

Michael Patocka says: \u201cI am looking forward to actively shaping HBC\u2019s development in Austria together with Gerald Schwentner. We bring entrepreneurial experience, strong market knowledge and a shared understanding of sustainable growth. Our goal is to bring the strengths of our companies closer together and to consistently further expand the HBC Group\u2019s market position in Austria.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The new leadership duo of Michael Patocka, Managing Director of IRM-Versicherungsmakler & Beratungs GmbH, and Gerald Schwentner, Managing Director of UMBERIO GmbH, combines entrepreneurial experience, strong market expertise and an excellent network in the Austrian insurance market. With their companies IRM (part of the HBC Group since March 2026) and UMBERIO (part of the HBC Group since October 2025), they also represent two key pillars of growth for the Austrian business. Together, they create the best conditions to continue the successful development of recent years and to actively shape HBC\u2019s next growth phase in Austria. <\/p>\n\n
