KTM AG, Europe’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, is making strategic changes to consolidate its future. The company, recognized worldwide for its excellence in manufacturing high-performance motorcycles, is now investing in strengthening its internal structure.
Stefan Pierer, CEO of KTM AG, highlights the importance of this moment of transformation, in words to LinkedIn, on the PIERER Mobility page: ‘Over the past three decades, we have grown to become Europe’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. We inspire millions of motorcycle riders around the world with our products. Now we are taking a pit stop for the future. The KTM brand is my life’s work, and I will fight for it’.
Since September 2024, KTM has had a new reinforcement in its leadership. Gottfried Neumeister joined the Executive Board as Co-CEO, assuming a crucial role in the company’s strategy.
Pierer recognized the importance of this contribution: ‘Gottfried Neumeister has brought impressive experience and a breath of fresh air and has made a significant contribution to addressing the current situation. I am convinced that together we will get the company back on track for success’.
For his part, Neumeister underlines the value of KTM employees in consolidating the company’s position: ‘The enthusiasm of our employees is our most important competitive advantage. Their passion is the reason why KTM is globally synonymous with peak performance. We build our motorcycles reliably and robustly for every race, for every terrain. Now it’s about making the company robust. Robust for the future. So that we can quickly focus again on what we do best: building the coolest motorcycles in the world’.
The duo of leaders is determined to prepare KTM for future challenges, ensuring that the company continues to be a reference for innovation and quality in the motorcycle sector.
