AVL CFO Dr. Yorck Schmidt – automobile technology, strategic innovation & financial stability
How can a family-owned company navigate the industry-wide transformation while maintaining financial stability? AVL List, a €2 billion company located in Graz, Austria, is a leader in engine technology. With the car industry’s shift to electric vehicles, AVL List needs to transform itself, too. This requires substantial investments. As Yorck Schmidt, AVL List’s CFO, explains, "We have invested more than €1 billion over the last 4 years and will invest up to another €700 million within the next three years."
