Who is Gaston Glock’s wife, Kathrin?
For more than a decade, Gaston Glock was married to Austrian entrepreneur Kathrin Glock.
The pair tied the knot in 2011, despite a more than 50-year age gap.

Outside of being known as Glock’s wife, Kathrin is known for her career as a CEO.
She is in charge of several GLOCK departments, including GLOCK Health, Science and Research, GLOCK Ecotech, GLOCK Aviation, and GLOCK Security, according to her LinkedIn profile.
In addition to serving as CEO, she is also a supporter of animal welfare.
At this time, additional information on Kathrin’s personal life is unclear because she often stays out of the spotlight.
