Brose Group

Change in the management structure at Brose SE On October 2, 2024, the shareholders of the international automotive supplier transformed the dualistic structure of Brose SE into a monistic one. This requires several new designations: The previous Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Michael Stoschek, is now Chairman of the Administrative Board. His son Maximilian Stoschek remains his deputy as before. This means their tasks have not been changed. The Executive Board members are now Executive Directors of their respective divisions. The reason for this change was the lack of management and decision-making ability due to the lack of the owners' right to issue instructions to the Management Board as well as the lack of authority of the CEO over the other board members. This bureaucracy was paralyzing the company’s organization and the constructive collaboration between shareholders and management. To successfully address the various internal and external challenges, it is particularly important now to make swift and pragmatic decisions. Philipp Schramm has no longer been a member of the Executive Board since 2 October 2024, as he declined the appointment as Chairman of the Executive Directors. The shareholders have therefore appointed Stefan Krug , in addition to his responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer (COO), as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company. Stefan Krug has been with Brose in various roles both domestically and internationally since 1998. The shareholders would like to thank Dr. Schramm for his successful work since 2020 and his tenure as CEO since September 2023. The management and staff welcome the change at the top and Michael Stoschek‘s willingness to support the Executive Directors again with his more than 50 years of experience in tackling the challenges ahead. #brose #automotive #buildingexcellencetogether

Brose North America proudly hosted a delegation of governmental representatives and business leaders from Lower Saxony, Germany, led by Minister Olaf Lies, responsible for Economic Affairs, Transport, Housing and Digitalization.

We have equipped more than 100 million vehicles with it: since its launch in 1993, we have produced around 247 million manual seat height adjusters (MSH). The MSH is one of our most successful product innovations. 🚗💡 The previous height adjustment system was loud, expensive and only worked in steps. That's why Brosians were looking for an alternative. 🧐 After many years of development, we made the breakthrough more than 30 years ago and presented the manual seat height adjustment to the public for the first time at the International Motor Show (IAA). And the development continues: the latest, 6th generation of the MSH is about to go into series production in the third quarter of this year. Wir freuen uns auf viele weitere Jahre mit unserem Dauerbrenner, der manuellen Sitzhöhenverstellung!🥳

Avoiding waste is just one of the goals of our Brose E-Bike remanufacturing program. What exactly is this all about? 💡   We spoke to Vincent Bahar, one of the brains behind the project. He has been part of our Brose family for three years.   Vincent joined the quality department at Brose E-Bike as an intern and subsequently completed his bachelor's thesis there. The topic? The development of a production concept for #remanufacturing our e-bike drives.    For suitable drives, all components are thoroughly checked by a service technician after a defect, cleaned and, if necessary, replaced with new parts and reassembled into a remanufactured product. This saves CO2, prevents good components from being thrown away and allows us to offer our customers a cheaper alternative.   After graduating, Vincent stayed at Brose to put his theoretical work into practice. The Reman Drive has been available for the aftermarket since August 2023. "The initial feedback from the end customer about the drive convinced me that we have not only done something for the environment, but also for the customer," summarizes Vincent.   We say, "Good job" 👍 and wish the team from Brose E-Bike and Vincent continued success with their project! 👏 😊 #brose #ebike #sustainability #team #excellenceinside #mobility #electronics
