The 55-year-old business graduate (Diplom-Kaufmann) has been with the company since 1998 and, since 2012, has served as Commercial Director of the Off-Highway and Test Systems business unit within the Industrial Technology Division. He brings many years of international experience in finance, controlling, and corporate development and is well acquainted with the requirements of global OEM markets through various leadership roles in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Over many years, he has been closely involved in the strategic development of the business unit and has actively shaped its market positioning.
The Off-Highway and Test Systems Business Unit, managed from Passau, is the largest area within ZF’s Industrial Technology Division. It includes the development and production of transmissions and axles for agricultural and construction machinery, as well as drive technology for material handling systems. The portfolio also comprises test systems for a wide range of applications in powertrain and chassis technology.
“Our customers are facing major technological and structural changes – ranging from efficiency requirements and sustainability to increasing system integration,” says Alexander Seeliger. “Together with our international teams, we aim to further expand our system expertise and continue to strengthen ZF as a high-performance, reliable development partner for OEMs in the agricultural and construction machinery industries.”
Seeliger succeeds Daniel Härter, who left ZF at his own request on December 31, 2025. He takes over site management in Passau from Andreas Moser, who was appointed to the Board of Management of ZF Friedrichshafen AG as of November 1, 2025, where he is responsible for the Industrial Technology and Commercial Vehicle divisions as well as the India region
