After Josef Schörghuber's death in 1995, his son Stefan Schörghuber, who had been working in the hotel and mountain railways sector in the company since 1984, took over the company. Since the death of Stefan Schörghuber on 25 November 2008, his widow Alexandra Schörghuber has been running the company.
Activities Beverages The group's beverage holdings are managed by the Paulaner Brauerei Gruppe, which it owns jointly with Heineken. It was formed in 2017 when Brau Holding International, the earlier joint venture, merged with its subsidiary Paulaner. Heineken's stake fell from 49.9 to 30 percent. Its breweries include Paulaner and Kulmbacher.
Hotels In 1998 the group's hotel subsidiary, Arabella Hotel Holding, formed a joint venture with Starwood Hotels to market 31 hotels in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mallorca and South Africa under the Sheraton and Four Points brands. In January 2007 the agreement was extended until 2037, and the joint venture was renamed ArabellaStarwood Hotels & Resorts.
Construction and real estate Bayerische Hausbau combines the group's property development and real estate holdings. In 2023 it was split into two legally separate sister companies, Bayerische Hausbau Development and Bayerische Hausbau Real Estate. The real estate company portfolio valued at about €3.6 billion.
