Continental strengthens customer-focused approach with two new field engineers

As part of its customer-focused growth strategy ‘CST 2025’, 6893 Continental Commercial Specialty Tires (CST) is strengthening its team by recruiting two new field engineers.

Matthias Engelhardt (55) and Harm-Hendrik Lange (35) have taken up the newly created positions as field engineers EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa). Engelhardt will be responsible for Earthmoving tyre customers. Lange will be focusing on the Agricultural tyre business.

“By entering the ports, construction and mining businesses, we have already taken important steps towards achieving our growth strategy goals and expanding our core business from material handling to a broad variety of segments. Yet our key focus remains on the customer. We want to provide customised, high-quality products and services in all segments. The needs of customers certainly differ widely. That is why we have decided to invest in headcounts with the knowledge and experience needed in order to provide our customers with best quality services – on site and in the field”, says Enno Straten, head of Commercial Specialty Tires.

Before joining Continental, both field engineers have gained long-term expertise in the respective businesses: Engelhardt has been working at 4582 Bridgestone Deutschland for around 24 years, most recently as senior manager Commercial Business Germany & OTR DACH. Lange has gained experience in the agricultural business as Test Engineer Hydraulics & Drive Train and Test Engineer Drive Train Functionality at 433 John Deere.
