Restructuring for Greater Performance
At its recent meeting, the ZF Supervisory Board confirmed Andreas Moser’s appointment to the Board of Management, effective November 1, 2025. Moser brings more than 30 years of ZF experience, including leadership roles across the Commercial Vehicle Solutions and Industrial Technology divisions. His appointment ensures both continuity and expertise within ZF’s top management.

The goal: greater speed, clarity, and impact across global operations.

“With this new Management Board, we have a strong and highly competent leadership team that will successfully guide ZF into the future,” added CEO Mathias Miedreich.
Bottom Line
