Change in management in the Automotive Industry sales division

Starting in December 2025, there will be a change in management in the Automotive Industry sales division. Dr. Ralf Koch is retiring after 26 years with the company. He has shaped the work in sales for many years, first in the construction industry, household appliances, end consumers/pipes, and gas cylinders, and then as head of the automotive and supplier industry sales division. 
We would like to thank him for his great commitment and many years of service. We wish him all the best for his new phase of life.

Aurélia Götzel, who previously served as team leader in this area, will take over the management role. She brings extensive industry experience and expertise to the position. Leadership will thus remain in the hands of an experienced employee from within the company, ensuring a seamless transition.
Marcel Jost will take over as team leader. Marcel Jost previously worked in technical customer support and brings with him comprehensive product knowledge and experience in direct customer support.

Since May of this year, the department has been strengthened by the addition of another team, led by Spiros Pappas. Together with the experienced team leaders Isabelle Weiss, Ive Hartmann-Kopp, and Sebastian Krüger, and with the support of Thomas Frieling as coordinator, the continuous and reliable support of our customers is ensured in the tried and tested manner.
