Following the stepping down of Andreas Gerstenmayer from his position as CEO of the Austrian technology company AT&S on Monday due to personal reasons, AT&S is launching a CEO search. In the coming months, an internal or external candidate is to be found to succeed Andreas Gerstenmayer who has been CEO of AT&S since February 2010.
“Under Andreas Gerstenmayer’s leadership, AT&S has succeeded in developing into a global technology leader in microelectronics over the past one and a half decades,” said the AT&S Supervisory Board in recognition of Gerstenmayer’s work. “During this time, AT&S has not only embarked on a successful course of growth, but has also worked with the most innovative companies in the global electronics industry and gained major technology companies as customers. The members of the Supervisory Board, who wish Andreas Gerstenmayer all the best for the future, would like to express their sincere thanks for this achievements.”
“I have managed AT&S for more than 14 years, experienced the ups and downs and initiated the growth phase. It is now time to place the management of the company in new hands,” says Andreas Gerstenmayer. “AT&S is well prepared for the future challenges in a difficult market environment for the entire technology industry, so it is a good time for the handover.”

Global PCB Connections: Let the Spec Fit the Board, Not Just the Brand
07/17/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsIf you’ve ever seen an excellent PCB quote delayed, or worse, go cold because of a single line on the fab print, you’re not alone. Often, that line reads something like, “Use 370HR only,” or “IT-180A required.” These and other brand-name materials are proven performers, but unless your design needs that specific resin system (say, for RF performance, thermal reliability, or stringent CAF resistance), you may inadvertently be holding your job hostage.
