Helmut Korthöber takes over management of Willenbrock Fördertechnik
Helmut Korthöber has been CEO of Willenbrock Fördertechnik since the beginning of December. He succeeds Kai Froböse, who has taken up a new position outside the Group at his own request. Korthöber has held various management positions in the agricultural machinery industry for over 20 years. He brings with him extensive management expertise on both the product and the marketing and sales side.
The 52-year-old has worked for the world's leading agricultural machinery manufacturer John Deere in various countries since 1997. After heading up sales in Germany as Managing Director, Korthöber was most recently responsible for marketing and strategic planning as part of the European management team. "I am looking forward to the exciting task of contributing to the further growth of the traditional and future-oriented Willenbrock Group," says Korthöber. The new CEO has set himself the goal of continuing to consistently align Willenbrock with the requirements of the market and is focusing on topics such as safety, digitalization, automation and energy. "Willenbrock sees itself as a partner to its customers," says Korthöber. "Especially in the current times, trusting cooperation, commitment and regional ties are particularly important."
