In 1991, he became CEO of Böhler-Uddeholm AG and headed the Group until 2010. Raidl was instrumental in the company's rise to the top of the industry. From 2007 to 2010 he was also a member of the Management Board of voestalpine AG.
Mahrer: "Great personality"
"During his two terms of office, Dr. Claus J. Raidl shaped an internationally recognized and modern central bank," recalls current OeNB President Harald Mahrer in a press release. "As President, Dr. Claus J. Raidl was more than a Chairman of the Supervisory Board, he was a great personality and, with his extensive knowledge and experience, supported the OeNB's Governing Board with the then Governor Dr. Ewald Nowotny in extensive reform measures and innovations in corporate governance." We extend our deepest condolences to his family.
Raidl died, it was said, "after a long, serious illness". Claus Raidl was married and had three sons, one of whom is the Viennese ÖVP politician Gregor Raidl.
