Heimo Scheuch has resigned as CEO of the building materials company Wienerberger, effective immediately. The company announced this on Monday. The resignation is due to health reasons, which were not specified further.

Scheuch led Wienerberger for over 17 years and has now handed over his responsibilities to Deputy CEO Gerhard Hanke, who will temporarily take charge of the company.

The resignation comes at a time when the company has been struggling with a decline in profits. It remains to be seen how this change in leadership will affect Wienerberger's business development.
