Hefei, China – Continental Tires (China) Co. has appointed Tang Mingyou to the position of general manager, effective 8 July.
Previously national sales director of Continental Tires China, Tang Mingyou will lead the company's business development in China.
He is the first Chinese general manager of the tire business unit in China and is tasked to “continue to promote Continental Tires' strategic layout and localised development in the market,” said Continental 9 July.
Véronique Giraud, the former general manager of China, will serve as the general manager of Continental Tires France.
