BULLETIN


Enterprise Leadership Team Assignment Changes

The following changes will take place immediately as we move from five Regions/Product Groups to four.

Tom Pitser, currently leader of the Europe Region, will be returning to the U.S. to lead the Body & Suspension Structures product group. Tom will be based in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Antonio Zarate, currently the leader of the Mexico and South America Region, will be moving to Europe to assume responsibility for Europe, and will retain responsibility for Tower Automotive Brazil. Antonio will be based in Strasbourg, France.

Jim Arnold, currently the leader of Lower Vehicle Structures & Modules in the U.S. and Canada will now have the additional responsibility for our interests in Mexico and will continue to be based in Novi, Michigan.

Jeff Wilson has chosen to leave the company after five years of contributing in ways that have been both significant and appreciated.

Please join me in congratulating and supporting Antonio, Jim, and Tom as they take on these new leadership roles and responsibilities.
