We are excited to have a strong leadership duo at Vollmer alongside Andreas Böhm.”
Since April 2024, Andreas Böhm has been leading the Vollmer Group as managing director, succeeding Dr. Stefan Brand and Jürgen Hauger. With the appointment of Tobias Trautmann, the machine manufacturer is relying on a proven dual leadership model that draws on a 115-year family tradition while positioning the company for the future and a global market. Both managing directors are united in their goal: to strengthen Vollmer as an innovative partner to the tool industry and prepare the company for international challenges.
