New, strong sales leadership at Herth+Buss Mobility Solutions GmbH

Michael Lauxmann becomes new Head of Sales

With effect from 1 July 2026, Herth+Buss has appointed Michael Lauxmann as Head of Sales and authorised company signatory. In his new role, Michael Lauxmann will also become a member of the company’s Board of Management. The existing management team with Holger Drewing, Jens Drewing, Oliver Lewerentz and Michael Schütz remains unchanged.

This change in personnel forms part of a succession plan which was mapped out some time ago. Michael Schütz, who has been working at Herth+Buss for 46 years and has been in charge of Sales since 2013, is set to retire in the foreseeable future. Michael Lauxmann is a long-standing employee who knows the company well and will now gradually take on responsibility for the Sales function. Michael Lauxmann has worked for Herth+Buss for almost 20 years in various roles and, as Export Sales Director, has been responsible for international sales for ten years.

During the transitional period, Michael Lauxmann and Michael Schütz will take care of sales management at Herth+Buss together. As such, the company is ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of support for its customers and business partners.

“I am delighted by the trust placed in me in this new role. Together with our dedicated Sales team, my aim is to continue driving the successful development of Herth+Buss, strengthen existing customer relationships and unlock new market potential. Close collaboration with our partners and maintaining a consistent focus on our customers’ needs are very important to me,” says Michael Lauxmann, Head of Sales and member of the Board of Management.

By initiating the succession plan at an early stage, Herth+Buss is ensuring it is appropriately set up to respond to future market requirements in a targeted way. It is also ensuring that Michael Schütz’s vast experience is passed down to his successor in an orderly fashion, giving customers and business partners continuity and reliability both now and in the future.
