A conversation with Felix Scholz, Managing Director: from apprentice to managing director
In 2022, we published an interesting interview with Felix Scholz, who was Vice President (VP) Service at the time. Now, less than two years later, he has risen one step further up the corporate ladder. Since April 2024, Scholz has been the Managing Director of the Gear Technology and Automation Systems Division in Saline, Michigan. His extraordinary rise from Industrial Mechanic Apprentice to Managing Director of Liebherr’s Saline site does pique one’s curiosity. In this interview, we’ll learn how Felix has been getting on these past two years, how his promotion came about and what his daily challenges look like.
