Harald Späth becomes Managing Director Automotive Original Equipment
Personnel changes at Mann + Hummel
Josef Parzhuber, Managing Director Automotive Aftermarket at Mann + Hummel, will leave the filtration expert on April 30, 2020. Parzhuber has been with the company since 2011 and has played a key role in advancing the global automotive aftermarket business during his career. The search for a successor for his position has not yet been completed.
From 2012 to 2016, the Bayer native worked in Singapore as Group Vice President and CEO for Asia Pacific. In March 2016, he took over global responsibility for the Aftermarket division from Ludwigsburg. Until further notice, Kurk Wilks, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO, will take over the management of the division on an interim basis.
Harald Späth has been appointed Managing Director Automotive Original Equipment with immediate effect. He succeeds Kurk Wilks, who has been Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of the Mann + Hummel Group since January 2020. Harald Späth most recently held the position of Senior Vice President Original Equipment Europe, which he will continue to hold in addition to his new role until further notice.
"Last year, we fundamentally realigned ourselves and initiated important projects. Together with our teams, we must continue to successfully implement these topics and overcome the current challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. I am very much looking forward to this new role and being able to contribute my many years of experience from various areas and functions," says Harald Späth, President and General Manager Original Equipment.
Harald Späth has been part of Mann + Hummel since 1995 and was responsible for the Heavy Duty & Industrial division as Vice President Global Sales and Project Management. After working as Managing Director in England, he took over global sales management for the then industrial filter business.
