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."

In this episode, CFO Yorck Schmidt explains how he and his colleagues at AVL List navigate the profound changes in the automobile industry while continuing to innovate. We explore Yorck’s views on the future of automobile technology, the importance of foreign competition, how AVL manages the complexities of global markets, and his own role as the CFO in AVL List’s transformation.
Join us for an insightful conversation on the future of mobility technology and the financial strategies of AVL List.
