Kögel, the German trailer manufacturer, has strengthened its management team by appointing Petra Adrianowytsch. The newly created position provides her with responsibility for Corporate Development. Her responsibilities in the Board of Management also include sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Ms. Adrianowytsch will further concentrate the focus on customer orientation, jointly with Lars Kirchner, authorised officer and sales manager for Germany, and the entire internal and external sales team. “In the operational business, I rely completely on the experience of Lars Kirchner, who has been with Kögel for more than 10 years,” says Petra Adrianowytsch. “My new strategic orientation will allow us to respond jointly and even more successfully to the German market and to convince our customers of the added value of Kögel trailers and services.”

Corporate development

When it comes to corporate development, Petra Adrianowytsch intends to extend the diversity and depth of the product range, to promote the major business areas of Kögel and to open up new business areas in order to achieve sustainable expansion of the market position. “I am looking forward to fulfilling my responsibilities for strategic corporate development jointly with my three managing director colleagues, to make Kögel more successful and profitable and to extend its strategy in a systematic manner”.

Petra Adrianowytsch completed a bank apprenticeship, studied business administration and then worked for her parent’s company. As a graduate in business administration (university of applied science), she advanced to the position of managing director in the disposal industry, where she was responsible for more than 650 commercial vehicles. She also held several managing director positions in major corporations in the disposal sector. She is familiar with the trailer market and the company as a result of her consulting work for Kögel in 2012 and 2013. Petra Adrianowytsch (51) is married with one son and has been working for over ten years with a lot of passion and commitment for the elderly and people in need of care at a Catholic welfare centre – at first as Managing Director and now as part of the Supervisory Board.
