Malte Oltmanns, Dipl.-Wirtschaftsing. (FH)

Malte Oltmanns fills demanding leadership and expert roles in industry – particularly where operational strength, technical understanding and international leadership competence are decisive. As an industrial engineer specialising in mechanical engineering, he combines technical expertise with market strategy and entrepreneurial responsibility from his own management practice.

Expertise & background

His expertise is grounded in technologically demanding fields and international leadership responsibility. For over ten years Malte Oltmanns held senior leadership positions in China and Asia. As Head of Sales Asia he was responsible for sales of large turbochargers and exhaust systems for marine and stationary applications. He subsequently served as Managing Director of the Chinese subsidiary of a German mid-sized company in the field of thermal management for commercial vehicles.

Working with global OEMs, he came to know international market requirements, technical applications and local leadership logics through direct responsibility of his own. He understands how European engineering and quality standards interact with local market requirements, Asian speed of execution and cross-cultural leadership practice.
