New management for the robotics division's automotive business

Jörg Reger has been appointed Head of the global Auto OEM business line of ABB's Robotics division. He succeeds Michael Larsson, who is leaving ABB to pursue new professional challenges.

Jörg Reger heads the global Auto OEM business line of ABB's Robotics division and also acts as head of the Robotics division for Germany.

In parallel to his new role, Reger (54) will continue in his current position as Head of the Robotics Division for Germany. One of the core tasks in his new position will be to further expand ABB 's robotics portfolio for automotive customers, particularly in light of the ever-growing production of electric vehicles and the increasing shortage of skilled workers.

Reger began his career at ABB in 1994 in the Power Systems division. This was followed by various management positions within the company, including Head of Robotics and Drive Technology Germany, Head of Service and Key Account Management Robotics Germany and Head of the Paint Systems business unit for Europe. Before joining ABB, he worked as an international project manager at Lurgi AG in Frankfurt am Main.

Reger has been a board member of the Robotics Division of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) since 2014.
