Zukunftsgestalter: Dieser Zulieferer stellt ein, während die Konkurrenz entlässt

Wipperfürth, Germany. Timo Maisel, an experienced auto supplier, has orchestrated the relocation of Voss, a company facing severe challenges. This year, Maisel will take over the reins of Voss, a company that has struggled to maintain sales and profits amid a crisis for the entire German automotive industry.

Maisel comes from the much larger auto supplier ZF, where he was responsible for the Asia-Pacific region's business in transmissions and electric mobility. The decision to move from the crisis-stricken China to Voss comes at a critical time for the German auto industry. While other suppliers have slashed tens of thousands of jobs worldwide, Voss has chosen to expand its workforce.

The question remains: why has Voss chosen to grow its workforce when others have been forced to cut jobs?
