to overview

The German sharpening specialist Vollmer strengthens the organization by adding a new member to its management team. Alongside Andreas Böhm and Tobias Trautmann, Ralf Großhauser will join the executive board. With this decision, Vollmer is committed to a strong strategic orientation and lays a solid foundation for the future. Großhauser brings extensive experience in the field of machine tools, strategy development, and corporate management, complemented by solid expertise in production and development – an ideal background for his new responsibilities at Vollmer.

“As a technology-driven strategist in the mid-sized business sector, I am very pleased to join Vollmer's management team starting in February and contribute to the company's future”, says Ralf Großhauser, the new Managing Director of the Vollmer Group.

Before joining Vollmer, Großhauser served as Chairman of the Management Board at Zeppelin Power Systems, a company of the Zeppelin Group specializing in drive and energy systems. Prior to that, he was the Spokesman of the Management Board at tegimus holding (Thermamax Group) and held various leadership positions at MAN Energy Solutions. His career includes, among other things, strategic corporate development, the expansion of product portfolios and markets, as well as responsibility for production, development, and logistics. Innovation and digitization projects have shaped his professional path - key areas that are also of central importance to Vollmer.

Already at the beginning of his career, Großhauser entered the field of machining, giving him firsthand knowledge of the requirements for machine tools from a user's perspective. With his dual qualification as a graduate engineer and business economist, as well as a study program in the USA, he is well equipped to further advance Vollmer.

“As a company with over 115 years of tradition, it is important for us to face future market challenges without losing our identity as a mid-sized hidden champion”, says Martin Kapp, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Vollmer Group: “Ralf Großhauser brings exactly the skills needed to achieve this balance and, together with the entire team, set the course for a successful future.”
