Zimmermann Retires After More that 40 Years of Leading Ellerbrock

Klaus Zimmermann has retired from headling Ellerbrock Reifenrunderneuerungs Technologie GmbH, in order to “dedicate time to his private life.” Mario Marangoni, president of Ellerbrock’s parent company (Marangoni Spa) and Giovanni Marangoni, President of Marangoni Pneumatici Spa, presented him with a commemorative plaque as an expression of their esteem.

From 1980 to 2005, Klaus Zimmermann was Managing Director of Ellerbrock, heading the company from the beginning of the partnership with the Marangoni Group until the takeover of Ellerbrock GmbH by Marangoni in 1992. During this period, his managerial role was always distinguished by great enthusiasm and detailed knowledge of the truck retreading market, both in Europe and abroad. He was widely recognised for his professional credibility and greatly appreciated as a partner by both customers and colleagues.

“Klaus Zimmermann has been an essential contributor to the current growth and success of the Marangoni Group Retreading Systems Division,” Mario Marangoni commented, adding: “I sincerely hope he has the chance to relax after the significant effort he put into his work, and at the same time I hope he will continue to feel attached to our business and have the desire to smell rubber again. He is more than welcome to visit us at any time.”
