ZF appoints new president for its Japan operation

Tokyo. The company announced the appointment of Doru Tașcă as the new President of ZF Japan, a position he will officially assume as of August 1.

In parallel, he will continue to play his role as a global key account executive for Japan-based original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), strengthening the connection between global customers and regional teams.

Tașcă joined ZF in September 2020 as a key account executive for Toyota. Since then, he has been recognized for leading high-impact regional projects and consolidating strategic relationships with clients.

With more than 20 years of experience in Japan's automotive industry and more than five years within ZF, Tașcă has a strong track record in managing business relationships and implementing programs in cross-cultural contexts. His appointment is in line with ZF's strategy to strengthen its local leadership in key markets.

In his new role, he will lead the company's business strategy in Japan and assume strategic oversight of its operations, guiding alignment between global customers and local initiatives.

A vision for the future of mobility

"I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to lead ZF Japan at this pivotal time for our industry," said Tașcă. "Together with our dedicated teams, I look forward to strengthening our partnerships, delivering value to our customers, and building an agile organization prepared for all future challenges."

The appointment was also endorsed by ZF's global senior management. Michael Neumann, Executive Vice President Sales and Customer Development at ZF Friedrichshafen AG, said:

"As the automotive industry continues to evolve rapidly, local leadership, capable of navigating complexity and driving customer-centric strategies, is more important than ever. Doru has consistently demonstrated a clear strategic vision and the ability to build lasting relationships with key customers. I am confident that he will provide strong leadership to our business in Japan and continue to strengthen the momentum he has already generated."
