About

I’m part of AUDI AG. My ambition are sustainable engines and batteries for the future. Why? I'm responsible for the divison Manufacturing Engineering HV Battery/Powertrains, Manufacturing HV Battery. We develop, plan, and implement the economical, innovative, and future-proof production of HV batteries, powertrains, as well as chassis and structural components for AUDI AG and the entire VW Group. The launch centers and the production of HV batteries are also part of our scope of services. With end-to-end responsibility, our division handles project management, product influence, process design, development, and integration of new manufacturing technologies from the concept phase to the end of production (EOP). This is possible with an inspiring and innovative team with two strong values: braveness and passion. Our customers include not only the AUDI AG plants but also other locations in China, Mexico and India.
