Joanna Szkudlapska-Wlodarczyk began heading the business activities of MAHLE Aftermarket in Europe on Aug. 1. Szkudlapska-Wlodarczyk has 17 years of experience with MAHLE Group, including time spent heading MAHLE Aftermarket for Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic states since 2006.

Szkudlapska-Wlodarczyk, in her new function, reports to Olaf Henning, corporate executive vice president and general manager of aftermarket at MAHLE.

“We aspire to position ourselves even more as a solutions provider in order to continue supporting the successful work of workshops in the future,” Szkudlapska-Wlodarczyk said. “I am looking forward to further expanding our unique offer for dealers and workshops and gaining new customers.”

“Europe continues to be a promising market for MAHLE Aftermarket in which we will step up our efforts even further. This is also demonstrated by the majority takeover of BRAIN BEE and the planned takeover of Behr Hella Service,” Henning said. “In doing so, we are expanding our comprehensive solution and service expertise for workshops-be it in workshop equipment or in areas such as thermal management, which will play a key role regardless of future types of powertrain

“With Joanna Szkudlapska-Wlodarczyk, we now have a proven market expert in a key position to further develop MAHLE Aftermarket in Europe.”
