Georg Frauscher has been part of the company since 2022 and in addition to his extensive professional knowledge, he brings with him the spirit that makes the “engineers of emotions” so successful.
“I feel ready for this new role and look forward to continuing the Frauscher success story together with our team. We have big plans,” says the new general manager of production.
Michael Frauscher, son of Hans Frauscher, will remain a partner in the company. In his new role as “head of the design department”, he will focus entirely on the development of new products and boat models.

A change of management has also taken place at the company’s Spanish subsidiary: Florian Helmberger, the long-time sales manager and authorized signatory of the Frauscher shipyard, additionally takes over the management of the company from Stefan Frauscher and will continue to promote the future development of the international site.
“Frauscher España SL has been a true success story since it was founded in 2012 and is responsible for 20-30% of the shipyard’s total turnover each year. With the additional location in Puerto Portals, which supports our existing location in Port Adriano and the winter warehouse in Son Oms, we will further expand our presence in Mallorca. I am delighted that shareholders have placed their trust in me for this additional role!”, Florian Helmberger.
