Shaper of the Future: This supplier is growing against the market

Timo Maisel is set to take over as head of auto parts supplier Voss in Wipperfürth, Germany, next year. He joins from ZF, where he was responsible for the Asia-Pacific region's transmission and e-mobility business. Maisel's move comes as the German auto industry faces a crisis, with sales and profits plummeting in China. Despite this, Voss has been bucking the trend, hiring staff while others cut jobs. Maisel is relocating from Shanghai to Wipperfürth, the oldest town in the Bergische Land region.
