ZF Services Australia is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Lowe to the position of managing director, ZF Services Australia Pty. Ltd., effective 1 October.

Lowe joined ZF Services Australia in November 2011 as its chief financial officer, a position he held for more than five years before moving to ZF Aftermarket headquarters in Germany to become divisional controller for the manufacturing and the domain materials management business unit.

“A proven leader with broad commercial experience, Mark has strong knowledge of the ZF business and the global aftermarket,” said Tay Toh Neng, regional director, ZF Asia Pacific. “This, combined with his existing experience with ZF Services Australia, makes him uniquely qualified for this position.”

Prior to joining ZF Services Australia, Lowe held divisional controlling and commercial roles in Australian ASX companies, GWA Group Ltd and Goodman Fielder Ltd, as well as McDonald‘s Australia.

A qualified CPA, Lowe also holds a business degree from the University of Technology in Sydney.

“I am thrilled to be taking on the new role and working with the local team again,” Lowe said.

“My existing aftermarket knowledge of and experience with ZF Services Australia will allow me to hit the ground running and to give the company new impetus on the one hand and ensure the necessary continuity in the work on the other hand.

“I am familiar with the aftermarket expectations around part availability and service levels. As a team we will continue the collaborations between ZF and our trusted business partners, to forever exceed their expectations with product and service innovations.”

As managing director of ZF Services Australia, Lowe will be responsible for the management and operations of ZF Services in Oceania.
