Zukunftsgestalter: Dieser Zulieferer stellt ein, während die Konkurrenz entlässt
Die deutschen Automobilhersteller stecken in einer massiven Krise und ziehen Zulieferer mit hinein. Doch Voss aus dem Bergischen Land hält standhaft dagegen. Wie schafft das Unternehmen das?
Timo Maisel, a former ZF manager, is set to lead German auto parts supplier Voss after the company's Chinese competitor begins laying off workers. Voss, based in Wipperfürth, has been a leader in the industry for decades, specializing in components like steam connections and brakes. The company's success can be attributed to Thomas Röthig, Voss's CEO, who has overseen the company for 13 years before stepping down at the end of the year.
Maisel, who will inherit the company, plans to focus on maintaining their strengths and developing new areas to prepare for future challenges. Voss has been successful in China, a market that has proven resilient even during the industry's recent struggles. The company has been present in China since 2010 and has developed key products, such as cooling systems for batteries in electric vehicles.
However, the recent decline in the Chinese market has led to a drop in sales and profits for Voss. Maisel acknowledges the challenges but remains optimistic about the company's future, emphasizing the importance of diversifying their business to adapt to changing market conditions.
