Gregory Oswald will assume the role of Managing Director of Franke Home Solutions DACH.
Oswald, 45, previously led Franke Home Solutions in the DACH region from 2022 to 2024 before heading WESCO, which was acquired by Franke in September 2024. Until the new organisation is fully operational, Corrado Mura, CEO of Franke Home Solutions since January 2026, served as interim director. This restructuring consolidates leadership across the three brands under a single executive, while maintaining operational autonomy in their respective markets to maximize synergies.
"Gregory Oswald's deep knowledge of the DACH market, combined with his expertise in product management and brand leadership, makes him the ideal leader for this next phase," said Corrado Mura, CEO of Franke Home Solutions. "Bringing the three brands together under his direction ensures continuity for our clients and employees while strengthening our strategic integration efforts."
Oswald commented: "I am excited to continue developing Franke Home Solutions DACH alongside Corrado Mura and our dedicated team. Together, we will advance our brand ambitions and drive sustainable growth across the region."
