The Advisory Board of Dr. Ing. h.c. F.
Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has newly appointed at today's meeting
Wolfgang Leimgruber (59) as member of the Executive Board of the
sports car manufacturer. Taking effect immediately, he will
assume the duties of Michael Macht (48) - who was named CEO of
Porsche AG a week ago - as head of the Production and Logistics
departments.
Leimgruber, born 1949 in Laupheim, was
trained as a machinist and later received training at the Ulm
School of Engineering, before studying machine construction at
the Technical University of Stuttgart, graduating as chartered
engineer. In 1978, he joined Porsche as planner in the
Production department. After serving several managerial
functions in Production, in 1992 he was appointed as Head of Car
Body Manufacturing and Paint. In this function, he significantly
contributed to the restructuring process of Production, which
had begun at the time under head of Porsche Dr. Wendelin
Wiedeking. |
