Meet the boss
NAME: Holger Engelmann
Title: Webasto Chairman
Age: 54
MAIN CHALLENGE: Increasing sales to 5 billion euros by 2020 despite global economic uncertainty and large investments in e-mobility.
Webasto's 2018 global sales dipped 2.2 percent to 3.4 billion euros, ending an eight-year growth streak. The decline means the German supplier will need to increase sales by roughly 46 percent to reach its target of 5 billion euros by 2020. Webasto Chairman Holger Engelmann discussed this challenge and more with Automotive News Europe Managing Editor Douglas A. Bolduc.
