Continental Tires España picks new MD
Continental has appointed Pedro Teixeira as its new managing director for Spain, a position he will take up on 1 October 2023.
With more than 20 years of experience in the company, Teixeira, who until now has led the company in Portugal, already has first-hand knowledge of the Spanish market after having managed the “best drive” franchise there.
Teixeira replaces Jon Ander Garcia, who until now combined the role of general manager in Spain with his regional role as head of the Meta region and Eastern Europe and OEM after-sales channel management.
Teixeira joined Continental in 2001 in sales Portugal as head of controlling and credit management. In 2004 he was appointed head of truck and CST, before becoming general manager of Contitrade Spain in 2012, a position he held until 2015. (cj)
