Manuel Muñoz takes the wheel

Miscellaneous

Pollmann de México is about to undergo a significant change in management: Manuel Muñoz will take over as the new Managing Director of the location from July 15. The handover phase between him and the previous Managing Director Matthias Kitzler has been underway since the end of May.

Matthias Kitzler, who has managed the Mexican plant since its initial phase in 2022, is returning to Austria. He will take over the role of Managing Director of MAXXOM Automation from August 1. The Pollmann subsidiary for automation technology was previously managed by Stefan Pollmann, who will now focus entirely on his role as Vice President of Business Development & Sales for the Pollmann Group.

An industry expert with experience
Manuel Muñoz has more than 20 years of experience in the automotive industry. Most recently, he worked for Carcoustics as Regional Director Americas and General Plant Manager in San Miguel de Allende. Prior to that, he held management positions at well-known automotive companies such as Aspel, Grupo Bocar, Chrysler and Metalsa. His academic background includes a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA in International Business.

His extensive industry experience, his in-depth knowledge of the Mexican and American markets as well as the local conditions in San Miguel de Allende and his strong leadership skills make him the ideal candidate for this responsible position.

“Matthias Kitzler and the whole team did an outstanding job in the starting phase and have created an excellent basis. Now, it is time to grow. I am looking forward to guiding the team in San Miguel de Allende and continuing to push the growth of Pollmann de México,” says Manuel Muñoz. 

Robert Stubenberger, COO Pollmann International, emphasizes: “We are delighted to have Manuel Muñoz join Pollmann and wish him every success in his new role. At the same time, we want to express our sincere thanks to Matthias Kitzler for his commitment during his time at Pollmann de México. We wish him all the best for his future position as Managing Director of MAXXOM Automation.”
