Pirelli announces German management changes

Changes to the management structure of Pirelli Deutschland’s sales and marketing team took effect on 1 April. Amongst these tweaks is an extension of Sascha Kemper’s area of responsibility. In addition to his current position as Germany-wide sales manager for the original equipment truck business and Northern Germany sales manager for the replacement market truck business, Kemper has taken over as head of the replacement truck business in Southern Germany from Sascha Ihrig.

In his new role as key account manager for car dealerships, Sascha Ihrig has transferred over to Pirelli Deutschland’s car business area. Ihrig has been employed by Pirelli since 2002, when he was hired as a local sales manager. 

Pirelli Deutschland has created a new business unit, Business Development Truck, and placed Levent Elgün in charge. In this capacity he will coordinate the acquisition of new customers and also support Alain Versace, marketing manager Truck – Central Europe, in coordinating the marketing of the Pirelli Cyber Fleet TMS system in the German market. Prior to taking on this position, Elgün was employed for three months as sales and marketing operation manager for Pirelli’s German truck business, and the recent graduate also completed an internship in the truck business during 2010 and 2011. 

In their new roles, Sascha Kemper und Levent Elgün report directly to Manfred Zoni, who heads up the truck business at Pirelli Deutschland GmbH and is responsible for the German, Austrian, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch markets.
