Kögel owner, Ulrich Humbaur, has appointed Josef Warmeling as a further general manager at Kögel with a focus on international key account management, value added service, association work and OEMs. Together with Thomas Heckel, Thomas Eschey, Massimo Dodoni and Petra Adrianowytsch, Warmeling will continue to drive Kögel's profitable domestic and international growth strategy.

After more than 19 years at Schmitz Cargobull, Josef Warmeling, manager for international key account management has made the decision to leave Europe's biggest manufacturer of semi-trailers. The manager will remain loyal to the industry and his customers, and will join Europe's third-largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles, Kögel. Josef Warmeling will strengthen the company’s management team in future.

Alongside Managing Director Massimo Dodoni, he will take up a role in international key account management, as well as drive and continue to expand value added services. He will also be responsible for the company’s collaborative work with associations and OEMs.

Ulrich Humbaur, sole proprietor of Kögel Trailer GmbH & Co. KG, is pleased with the new addition. “We are thrilled to have acquired such a top manager with excellent sales and leadership expertise, as well as an outstanding network in the European commercial vehicles industry, as a contact partner for our customers and the industry. This will allow us to continue our consistent customer-orientated approach,” says Ulrich Humbaur.
