New Leadership at WorldAutoSteel

WorldAutoSteel, Brussels, Belgium, has appointed Ingo Olschewski as its new director. He succeeds Cees ten Broek, who will serve as an advisor to the organization until his retirement later this year. WorldAutoSteel is a group of the world’s largest automotive-steel producers, focused on advancing vehicle manufacturers’ use of steel for future mobility through engineering, research and advocacy programs. 

With more than two decades of experience in the automotive industry, Olschewski will lead WorldAutoSteel’s global membership of automotive-steel producers to advance the use of steel for next-generation passenger mobility. He will oversee all aspects of the group’s activities, working closely with member companies to plan and implement technical studies and engineering and advocacy programs that demonstrate how steel can continue to meet the evolving needs of automotive manufacturers.

“Steel has long been at the heart of automotive innovation, and its role is only becoming more critical in vehicle design and manufacturing,” says Olschewski. “As the industry undergoes a rapid evolution driven by electrification, autonomy and sustainability, I look forward to helping our members shape the future of mobility. Through continued collaboration and dedicated technical programs, we aim to demonstrate that steel is not just keeping pace with change but driving it.”

Olschewski previously served as head of strategy and consulting at German automotive-engineering services provider fka, where he worked closely with WorldAutoSteel on strategic studies. His experience includes leadership roles advising automotive OEMs and suppliers on portfolio strategy development; developing and evaluating innovative new mobility concepts; and assessing product innovations in the context of future regulatory requirements, market positioning and evolving value chains.
