Inspiring his peers to bring their best to the table, Lionel is a respected entrepreneur and a true gentleman of the industry. Succeeding his father Elek, Lionel took over the family business, KH Stramit in 1973. His engineering background and comprehensive understanding of the steel and construction industries led him to grow the business into one of Australia's largest steel companies with operations across Australia and Asia. At the same time, Lionel was developing a building style that would later become synonymous with the exceptional quality that Krongold Constructions delivers today. With the sale of the steel business in 1989 and his son Wayne working in the family's construction company, Lionel moved into the role of Chairman of Krongold Construction Group. Together, they have successfully grown Krongold Constructions into one of Australia's premium builders of architecturally designed and constructed homes and apartments.
A great believer in family, Lionel, and his wife of 56 years Marian, have built a close-knit family with their three sons, daughters-in-law’s and seven grandchildren. The Krongold family is well known for its philanthropic contributions, its younger generation following Lionel’s teaching that true success is achieved when you help others to be successful.
