Senior appointments at ZF

Axle and transmission manufacturer ZF, has appointed Alexander Seeliger as senior vice president of its Off-Highway and Test Systems division.
The new role includes responsibility for the Industrial Technology Division’s base in Passau with around 4,000 employees.

Seeliger, 55, joined the company in 1998, initially in an accounting role with ZF Steyr, in Bavaria, having previously worked as an auditor with KPMG. In the years since, he has moved up through a number of increasingly senior appointments across Europe, Asia, and the Americas and has served as commercial director of the Off-Highway and Test Systems business unit within the Industrial Technology Division since 2012.

The Off-Highway and Test Systems Business, which is managed from Passau, is the largest section within ZF’s Industrial Technology Division. It includes the development and production of transmissions and axles for agricultural and construction machinery, as well as drive technology for material handling systems. It also includes testing for a wide range of applications in powertrain and chassis technology.

Speaking of his promotion, Seeliger said: “Our customers are facing major technological and structural changes – ranging from efficiency requirements and sustainability to increasing system integration. Together with our international teams, we aim to further expand our expertise and strengthen ZF's position as a reliable development partner for manufacturers in the agricultural and construction equipment industries.”

He replaces Daniel Härter, who left the company at the end of December, and he takes over the Passau site management from Andreas Moser, who was appointed to the board of the parent company, where he is responsible for the Industrial Technology and Commercial Vehicle divisions as well as the Indian sub continent.
