Continental names new tyre business managers

Continental has made three key appointments in its replacement and original equipment tyre businesses. Guido Wolff is now the new Global Account Director Original Equipment. He takes over this position from Dr Jan Oliver Götz, who is now the new Head of OEM Aftersales. Previously in this role, Jobst Schwarz has now taken over Key Account Management Replacement Business Germany from Guido Wolff.

Frank Jung, head of marketing and sales replacement tyres, Germany, is relying on the experience the new managers have so far gained at Continental. “Our colleagues bring with them a lot of experience from their Continental history and their previous management positions – and that will be very important for us in the future,” he says. “Of course, they will also provide new impetus in their new positions and continue to develop our business even in turbulent times.”

“In addition to dealing with all the focus areas such as sustainability, digitalisation, innovative products, top quality and established processes, I am very much looking forward to continuing to work with people, both internally and on the customer side,” says Guido Wolff.

Jan Oliver Götz adds: “We want to be a reliable partner to our customers in OEM After Sales with our offers of tyres and services, enabling them to run their businesses successfully and to always be in a position to make car drivers an attractive offer.”

Describing his future points of focus, Jobst Schwarz comments: “I am quite sure that trust, reliability, sustainability and progress in digitalisation are important success factors for our joint future with our partners in the tyre trade.”

The trio took up their new positions on 1 May. Götz and Schwarz report to Frank Jung, and Wolff to David O’Donnell, head of the Continental Tires Original Equipment business unit.
