Björn Marek joins KYOCERA Europe GmbH as new Manager Corporate Communications

“My main objective is to expand the various communication activities of the individual companies within KYOCERA Europe GmbH. At the same time, I want to better align them", explains Marek. "Together with my team, I want to communicate Kyocera's exceptional corporate philosophy and unique corporate culture even more effectively to the outside world.”

The 48-year-old is ideally qualified for the role: before joining Kyocera, he worked for the US subsidiary of ABT Sportsline, the largest tuner of VW Group vehicles worldwide, based in Miami, USA. Overall, he spent eight years there helping to expand the dealer network and brand awareness in the North and Central American markets for the German company, initially as Head of Sales, PR & Marketing and later as President & Chief Marketing Officer. Further career milestones include positions as Head of Press and Public Relations at ABT Sportsline GmbH in Kempten, Germany, and Editor and Project Manager at Auto Bild Sportscars / Auto Test. Additionally, he has published eight books about cars and travel.

Björn Marek will succeed Rafael Schröer, Managing Director of KYOCERA Europe GmbH, who has been co-heading the department on an interim basis since April 2023. Marek will also report to him in the future. “I am aware of the wonderful task that Björn Marek is taking on and I am delighted that we have gained such a renowned expert for it”, comments Schröer. “In my role as Managing Director, I will closely collaborate with him to further align the presence of all our European companies and to provide each branch with even better support in the areas of corporate communications and marketing. Together, we are pursuing Kyocera's overarching goal of developing and manufacturing products worldwide that enrich our lives and ensure a better future.”
