As of February 1, 2024, Michael Breme will take over as Chairman of the Board of Management of Audi Hungaria from Alfons Dintner, who will concentrate fully on his private life after 40 successful years in the Volkswagen Group, announced the company.
Michael Breme is currently Head of Platform and Module Management in Ingolstadt, Germany. In this position, he is responsible for the future-oriented design and implementation of platform and module management. “Michael Breme has more than 20 years of experience in the Audi production world. In his previous positions, he has already contributed to the development of the production site in Győr (western Hungary).
As Chairman, he will further strengthen the strategic management of the company and thus Győr’s role in the Audi Group’s global production network,”
said Gerd Walker, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG.
Breme, who holds a degree in engineering, began his career as a production planner at AUDI AG. From 2009, he was Head of Audi Tooling and was responsible for the Tooling Factories in Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm and Győr, as well as for the Audi Tooling Barcelona in Martorell and Audi Tooling Beijing. Breme then became Head of Production and Factory Planning at AUDI AG in 2016. In this position, he was responsible for the production-side design of all vehicle projects for the Audi brand and for the design and implementation of the factory structure for Audi production sites worldwide.
Breme will take over from the current Chairman of the Board of Management, Alfons Dintner, from February 1 2024. “Alfons Dintner has defined the success of the Audi and Volkswagen Group through his 40 years of work at several international production sites.
Under his leadership, Audi Hungaria has expanded its portfolio by providing competence-oriented services to the entire Volkswagen Group.
Furthermore, the production of electric motors in Győr was further expanded and the company’s competitiveness was strengthened by the integration of the CUPRA brand into vehicle production,” emphasized Gerd Walker, in praise of Dintner.
Dintner can look back on 40 years with the Volkswagen Group. He started his career in 1987, at AUDI AG headquarters in Ingolstadt. In 2007, he moved to Brussels, where he took over the position of both plant manager and spokesman for Audi Brussels. In this position, he was responsible for setting up the first Audi plant in Mexico. Dintner has been Chairman of the Board of Management of Audi Hungaria since October 1, 2019.
