Ferdinand R. Pranckh

CEO, Rauch North America

Ferdinand R. Pranckh is a unique combination of focus and imagination, leadership and collaboration, classic business acumen and innovative thinking. A senior executive within multinational manufacturing and high-tech markets, he has built a career on the idea that there is learning and value within each opportunity. This philosophy has positioned him as a transformational figure and has been at the foundation of his ability to drive positive change, record financial results, maximum ROCE, elevated customer satisfaction, and the acquisition of global market share.

Born in Austria, Ferdinand quickly gained a worldview that was shaped by his exposure to and understanding of business on a global scale. This perspective has added intrinsic value in his formation, development, and management of highly diverse teams. Recognized as an executive who leads with authenticity and integrity, Ferdinand has consistently sought out and groomed the next generation of talent to step forward as he took on new challenges.

In June of last year, Ferdinand relocated to the Phoenix area as CEO of Rauch North America.  Rauch runs the largest beverage can filling plant worldwide in Waddell/Glendale.
