Hagen, 26 August 2025 – EUROPART, Europe’s leading distributor of spare parts and accessories for trucks, buses and special vehicles of all classes, today announced the appointment of Florian Waldmann (46) as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective 16 August 2025.
With many years of experience in internationally operating retail and private equity companies, Waldmann brings extensive expertise in financial management, mergers and acquisitions, strategic corporate development and compliance. In his new role, he will oversee Finance, Accounting, Legal, Compliance and ESG, further strengthening EUROPART’s management team.
Most recently, Waldmann worked for METRO AG, where he was responsible for the implementation of a new ERP system within the global finance organization. Prior to that, he served as CFO Austria at METRO. His career began in the private equity industry, focusing particularly on M&A transactions and corporate development.
EUROPART is on a clear growth trajectory, driven by both organic initiatives and targeted acquisitions.
