LR Health & Beauty welcomes Jörg Körfer as new CEO – focus remains on growth and operational excellence
AHLEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LR Health & Beauty SE announces that Mr Jörg Körfer has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He will take over the responsibilities of the previous members of the Management Board, Dr Andreas Laabs and Andreas Grootz, with effect from 1 August 2025. Both gentlemen will leave the company by mutual agreement on 31 July 2025. In order to further strengthen the management team in the future, the Supervisory Board is exploring options for another complementary member of the Management Board. Jörg Körfer has extensive expertise in global direct sales from his many years of management experience with international companies. Among other things, he spent 14 years at Vorwerk (CEO Kobold and CEO Thermomix) and served as Chairman of the Advisory Board at Bofrost for six years, as well as acting as CEO in an advisory capacity. He will now bring this experience to LR and continue to exploit the full potential of Europe's leading social commerce platform in line with the strategy that has been pursued. The Supervisory Board would like to express its sincere thanks to the two departing members of the Management Board for their trust and dedication. Under Dr Laabs' leadership in particular, LR has developed excellently over the past eleven years and is ideally positioned to enter its next phase of growth. Since joining LR in 2014, Dr Laabs has played a key role in shaping the company and successfully transformed LR from a traditional direct sales model into a globally active social commerce company. The key milestones of his tenure include the digitalisation of the business model, several of LR's most successful product launches, and infrastructure projects such as the insourcing of Aloe Vera Drinking Gels in 2018 and the opening of the IT hub in Athens, all of which have contributed significantly to LR's current position. Andreas Grootz is leaving the company after fourteen years. He established capital market-compatible governance structures at LR and drove forward the opening of new markets. The Supervisory Board is confident that Mr Körfer is the right successor to LR to continue the success story started by Dr Laabs and his team.

Arco Vara AS Initiates Exit Process from the Bulgarian Market to Refocus on Estonian Development Projects
After nearly twenty years of successful business activity in the Bulgarian real estate market, the Management Board of Arco Vara AS has initiated a strategic exit process, with the ultimate goal of a complete withdrawal from the Bulgarian market. The decision was confirmed by the company's Supervisory Board in July 2025, following a thorough evaluation of Arco Vara's long-term strategy and the current and future development opportunities across different markets. The management has already launched the sale process, and several local Bulgarian real estate developers have expressed interest in participating in the transaction. Potential buyers will have the opportunity to conduct thorough due diligence and submit their offers to acquire Arco Vara's Bulgarian operations. According to Kristina Mustonen, Member of the Management Board of Arco Vara, this is a well-considered and forward-looking decision. 'Exiting Bulgaria allows us to focus even more clearly on our core market – Estonia. Our major project in the Luther Quarter, one of the most attractive development areas in Tallinn, requires strong leadership, focused attention, and financing capacity. By freeing up resources from Bulgaria, we will be better positioned to realise the growth potential of our Estonian projects and strengthen our position in the domestic market,' commented Mustonen. 'This decision was not made lightly – we have achieved significant results in Bulgaria, built a strong team, and delivered high-quality developments we can be proud of. However, from the perspective of Arco Vara's long-term growth and shareholder value, it is strategically justified to concentrate our focus on Estonia, where the potential of our projects is greater today than ever before,' explained Kert Keskpaik, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Arco Vara AS. The company will keep shareholders and the public informed about the progress of the exit process and will provide further updates as transactions or other material developments reach the next stage.
