Brose Establishes New Division for Procurement and Digitalization
Effective January 1, 2027, Sven Erber will be responsible for the new management division “Procurement and Digitalization.”
Automotive supplier Brose will consolidate its Purchasing, IT, and Digitalization functions into a new management division called Procurement and Digitalization.
This division will be led by Sven Erber, who will be appointed Executive Vice President by the Administrative Board effective January 1, 2027.
With this reorganization, Brose is more closely integrating procurement, data, systems, and artificial intelligence and establishing clear responsibilities for digital advancement. As a central division with significant impact on processes and interfaces, procurement plays a key role in this effort. At the same time, Brose is consistently placing digitalization and artificial intelligence at the center of its strategic focus.
Digitalization determines the speed and quality of our collaboration – with customers, suppliers, and within the company. The new division brings together expertise and creates clear structures for the future,

The goal is to accelerate the global adoption of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, further standardize processes, and sustainably increase transparency in cross-functional workflows.
