Brose Group

Michael Stoschek takes over as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of our company. Effective 08 July 2024, Dr. Rolf Breidenbach has resigned from his position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board of Brose SE has unanimously elected Michael Stoschek, member of this Board and shareholder of the Brose Group, as the new Chairman until the end of the current term of office. The reason for the change was a difference of opinion on the strategic alignment of the company against the background of current market developments. Maximilian Stoschek will remain Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Brose SE. 💬 "I would like to thank Dr. Breidenbach for many years of very successful cooperation as a member of the Advisory Board and Supervisory Board of the Brose Group. I look forward to a constructive collaboration with the Executive Board. Regardless of this development, the transition to the next generation in our family business remains at the top of my agenda.", says Michael Stoschek

What happens when #procurement, #purchasing and #digitization experts get together? You get inspiring insights, innovative solutions and new concepts. 💡 🚀   As the winner of the Intelligent Spend Management (ISM) Award 2023, we are proud to have hosted this year's CPO Round Table together with Roland Berger and SAP – Special thanks to Oliver Knapp and Kalairathan Bakeerathan (Kalle)!   Yesterday, more than 30 CPOs and key decision makers joined us in Bamberg. At the beginning Sven Erber, Christian Ley, Olga Fendel and Eva Schmidt shared our best practice and presented the award-winning solution.   This was followed by exciting presentations and discussions on how digitalization and generative AI can change the procurement process and which solutions are already in use today. SAP surprised us with a wonderful piano performance by Constance Pfeiffer. The event concluded with a tour of our Hallstadt plant.   We would like to thank all participants for their expertise and the valuable exchange! ❤️ #brose #buildingexellencetogether #roundtable #exchange #purchasing #digitalization #ai

We have been operating in South America for a quarter of a century. Our plant in Curitiba celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Let us take you to Brazil. 📍🌏 Curitiba is one of the three most important automotive regions in the country. We started production here in April 1999. We produced door modules and window regulators on 8,000 square meters. In 2010, our site was Brose's largest window regulator plant with an annual production of more than 5.5 million units. Today, around 290 employees work at our site on a total area of 20,000 square meters. Here we develop, produce and test products for our Drives and Exterior divisions. To celebrate the site's anniversary, our Brazilian colleagues came up with a special idea: In early June, 25 young trees were given a new, permanent home on our plant premises and in public schools and institutions. "We chose the planting to celebrate the achievements of Brose do Brasil in these 25 years, to value our roots and to strengthen ties with the institutions that are around us. Let's celebrate the coming years by reaping even more fruits, for ourselves and future generations", emphasizes Murilo Matta, president of Brose Brazil, at the event. 🌱 #brose #broselocation #automotive #mobility #global #innovation #electronics #technology #international #brasil #curitiba #buildingexcellencetogether #excellenceinside

This #partnership brings us one step closer to our #goal. #brose #buildingexcellencetogether #automotive #sustainability

When a career takes off : Narayan Soni's first contact with Brose was at the Formula Student Germany at the Hockenheimring in 2019. He was a member of Stallion Motorsport Electric team. Today, he is a software developer for cooling fan modules. He joined Brose India over four years ago and works now a Senior Engineer. His current project is to optimize a new microcontroller to make it as resource friendly as possible. Improving motor control algorithms is also part of his job. He gained the practical #experience for his job in a special way. As a student, he was responsible for designing the electric safety system of a racing car. Narayan also developed an electronic gear shifter for the car. In 2019, his team was the first and only Indian team to finish Formula Student Germany at the Hockenheimring. 💬 His tip from that time: "Always know the 'why, what and how' of your project and then never give up. I learned resilience as a Formula Student and it still helps me today to keep going. If a mistake happens, analyze them and then look for a solution". To this day, he stays in touch with the team and supports them with technical and industry-specific information, because "with the right team, there's no problem that can't be solved," Narayan says. #brose #automotive #buildingexcellencetogether #excellenceinside

Ready, steady, go! 🏁 From university to race track: students develop and build their own race cars in teams every year. 🏎 The finished vehicle is then put through its paces and has to perform in international competitions – this is Formula Student! 😎🔥 The combination of #technology, #teamwork and #entrepreneurship not only inspires the students themselves, but also us. Brose sponsors various university teams around the world and supports young automotive and technology enthusiasts. A commitment that is worthwhile, as many former team members are now working in our family-owned company. A racy and brief introduction of all teams we currently support can be found in today's post! 👇 🤩 #brose #student #sponsoring #engagement #builidingexcellencetogether #team #formulastudent CAT-Racing High-Voltage Motorsports e.V.

Run with the world!🏃♀️ Today's #GlobalRunningDay is a worldwide event that promotes physical and mental health by motivating people to get active. At Brose, we also support this intention with our company sports programs. There are various running groups that get together regularly or for a running event and are active together. However, Brosians also often take part in sporting events on their own. Running not only brings people together, but it also makes them happier, healthier and more mindful. In today's post, we show you the best impressions of our colleagues in action.💪 #brose #running #BuildingExcellenceTogether #sports #activitiy #team 

As an automotive supplier, we also contribute to the mobility transition with our products. 🌱 🔋 But did you know that #electric cars are up to 300 kg heavier than comparable combustion engine? This is primarily due to the battery, but additional equipment also increases the weight. 🧐   So every kilogram counts in product development for electrified and therefore more #sustainable cars!   💡 Our approach: we manufacture door modules from thermoplastic composite. The innovative lightweight material and our modular design achieve weight savings of several kilograms per vehicle door.   The further development of the structural module offers further potential. Here, the system limits of the door modules are extended so that they also take on static structural tasks in the door. Our module thus replaces parts of the door body.   Car manufacturers receive the system as a pre-tested unit and it only takes a few simple steps to insert it into the door frame. The more functions, such as fastening elements for cables or guide rails, are integrated on the module, the less additional work needs to be carried out. This not only saves weight, but also costs! #brose #automotive #supplier #excellenceinside #sustainability
