German automotive supplier MAHLE has appointed Dr. Jörg Stratmann as its new CEO.

 
Dr. Stratmann joined the MAHLE Group after leaving Continental AG in 2008 and has taken on increasingly demanding tasks. Until now, he has been responsible for managing the entire MAHLE Behr Group, now the MAHLE Thermal Management business unit.

“Dr. Stratmann brings a wealth of automotive experience, from both a technical and a business perspective. He is the ideal person to head the MAHLE Group,” stated Chairman of the MAHLE Supervisory Board, Prof. Dr. Heinz K. Junker.

Bernd Eckl will take up Dr. Stratmann’s old position after his outstanding contribution to the  development of the Engine Systems and Components business unit since he joined MAHLE IN April 2017. Georg Dietz will now step into the role of MAHLE Management Board Member for the Engine Systems and Components business unit.

Prof. Junker commented, “I firmly believe that with these personnel changes and new appointments we have made the right choices to guarantee a sustainable setup within the top level of management at the MAHLE Group. It is particularly important to me that we further focus on the ongoing technological development of MAHLE’s product portfolio. With the top management team at the head of the group, we are sure to succeed.”
