Dietmar Schaefer Email & Phone Number

Since January 2023, I have been working as an entrepreneur, supporting various projects in the automotive supply industry. I leverage my extensive experience as the CEO and Chairman of the iSi Automotive Group, a position I held from its early beginnings in 1996 to October 2021. Under my leadership, the iSi Automotive Group evolved from a nascent enterprise to a global industry player. As one of the world's leading providers of passive safety products for the automotive industry, we developed and produced innovative solutions for airbags and gas generators, enhancing the safety and comfort of vehicle occupants. In addition to my entrepreneurial activities, since 2007, I have also served as the Chairman of the Automotive Supplier Industry Working Group at the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber. In this role, I represent the interests of Austrian automotive suppliers, fostering collaboration and exchange between companies, customers, authorities, and research institutions. My goal is to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of the industry and address the challenges of the mobility transition.
