“I am very pleased to have Philipp join Harvia’s Management
Team. He will bring a wealth of relevant industry experience in
managing high-end brands as well as in commercial excellence and
leading global businesses. Importantly, he has experience of
similar industry transformations as the one currently under way in
the global sauna business – a shift from product-oriented towards
solutions-oriented business. In addition, his inclusive leadership
style will certainly be an asset for EOS in supporting its German
roots in a global setting,” says Matias Järnefelt, CEO of
Harvia.
“I am honored and excited to join Harvia Group as Managing

extremely happy to start working together with the highly skilled
personnel of EOS,” says Philipp Krauth.

Managing Director of EOS Group and a member of Harvia’s Management
Team, has decided to leave Harvia. Kunz will continue to work full
time for Harvia until the end of August 2024 and will support the
transition after that on consulting basis.
