Wienerberger resolves on share buyback program

Vienna, March 04, 2022 - Wienerberger has made a strong start to the year 2022 and is experiencing high demand across all regions. The company is running at close full capacity in all business areas and continues to pursue a number of attractive growth projects across the Group.

The management views the current Wienerberger share price as an attractive opportunity to acquire up to 3% of its share capital with an investment volume of up to € 100 million. Wienerberger intends to use the repurchased shares over time, among others, for the acquisition of companies, thereby creating additional value for shareholders.
