Family business
Philosophy: What defines us
Our priorities are genuine partnerships, maximum customer satisfaction, and steady, healthy growth. Our core competencies in standards development and our deep affinity for software are never neglected. Our structure allows for short decision-making processes and a personal commitment often lacking in anonymous corporations. Our management team has grown organically and consists of individuals who have worked their way up within the company with passion and expertise.
To ensure these values are carried forward sustainably, the next generation is already working within the company and actively assuming leadership responsibilities – thus ensuring that QSC remains a stable anchor for customers and employees for decades to come.
Managing Partner
Friedrich Piewald founded the ‘QSC’ corporate group together with his wife Eva in 1998, and has served as managing partner since that time. In this connection, he is responsible in particular for strategy and corporate development, while at the same time pursuing the ongoing evolution of the QSC product portfolio as well as technical innovations as his passion.
Friedrich Piewald has spent the majority of his career in leading positions in the development and implementation of complex and international software projects (especially in the ERP area) in manufacturing companies. At the same time, he trained as a management consultant and subsequently played a key role in several company reorganisations in the industry.
Partner
Eva Piewald comes from a family of entrepreneurs and has been familiar with all aspects of a successful and long-term corporate philosophy since she was a child. In addition to her function as a shareholder, she is also responsible above all for the "social kit" in the team at QSC and organises our employee events.

Florian Piewald
Florian Piewald brings a wealth of new knowledge to QSC. During his bachelor’s degree in biology and a related internship, he gained considerable laboratory experience—including time spent in Copenhagen—and is therefore particularly familiar with the challenges of the GxP environment.
He subsequently earned a master’s degree in bioinformatics from the University of Vienna and joined the family business in 2018. With Florian, QSC has gained an outstanding technician and analyst who thrives on these challenges and is constantly exploring new technologies.
