Wolf Fuder to leave Kumho Tire after 17 years

Wolf Fuder will later this month leave his role as head of marketing for Kumho Tire Europe, after almost 17 years with the Korean tyre maker.

Fuder started his career in the tyre industry in 2001 at Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH. There, he started as a trainee in marketing and sales.

In 2006 he switched to Kumho, where he has been responsible for marketing ever since. At the end of August 2023, Fuder will leave the company.

He will be succeeded by Ilhan Kurban, who is currently marketing manager at Kumho Tire Europe.

“The years at Kumho Tire Europe GmbH were extremely interesting and varied. We have succeeded in establishing the Kumho brand in the German and European tyre market and positioning it as a high-quality product,” Wolf Fuder said, who is now looking forward to new challenges

“Brand awareness has increased significantly, the products have been constantly improved and Kumho has evolved from a pure wholesale brand to a brand that is accepted by all in the tyre trade,” he added.
