Zukunftsgestalter: Dieser Zulieferer wächst gegen den Markt

Wipperfürth, a city in Germany's Bergisches Land, is set to become home to Timo Maisel, an auto supplier with big plans. Maisel, who previously worked at ZF, a much larger auto supplier, will take over as the head of Voss, an auto supplier that has been struggling in recent years.

Maisel will be moving from China, a region that has been a crisis point for the German automotive industry, to Wipperfürth. This move comes at a crucial time, as Voss has seen declining sales and profits for German manufacturers, causing widespread turmoil in the industry. However, unlike other suppliers that have cut thousands of jobs globally in response, Voss has remained relatively stable.

The question remains, what has allowed Voss to weather the storm while others have folded under pressure?
