Differences in opinion with the owner representatives about the future direction of the Styria Media Group caused Horst Pirker to leave the company in September 2010.

On February 1, 2012, he joined the management of the Saubermacher waste management company as CEO . After this excursion into waste management, Pirker will switch to the management of the News publishing group on May 20, 2014 and thus back to the media business.
