Staying close to our customers Our international sales network of nearly 700 sales directors and employees looks after day-to-day customer relations and defines Group sales strategies for each Product Group. Our Group Customer Directors work closely and coordinate all relations with a particular automaker to meet the customer’s needs across all Business Groups.

This is how we involve automakers from the start, showcasing our research and development work at the pre-project stage.
