Dr Rolf Karg, CEO of STILL GmbH, said: "I am very pleased that the important area of production is now represented on the STILL management board. Goran Mihajlovic has worked for STILL since the beginning of 2008 and during his time with us he has made substantial and lasting improvements to our production efficiency. As STILL's CEO, I shall be focusing even more strongly than before on its strategic positioning."

Gordon Riske, chairman of the STILL GmbH supervisory board and CEO of the KION Group, added: "Goran Mihajlovic has more than 15 years of experience in the industrial-truck industry and he is an ideal addition to the STILL management team. He will help to secure and increase STILL's long-term competitiveness, which will also be enhanced by the integration of the reach-truck production business and its relocation from Reutlingen to Hamburg."

Goran Mihajlovic, who is a qualified industrial engineer, has worked for STILL since 2008, firstly as head of the counterbalance-truck business line and then as manager of its Hamburg site. In the latter role he was also responsible for coordinating the STILL Group's other production sites around the world. From 2001 to 2008, he worked for the OM brand company in Italy, also part of the KION Group, where he started as head of purchasing and logistics before becoming head of warehouse equipment in 2003. Between 1994 and 2001, he held various managerial positions with industrial truck manufacturers in Germany and the UK.
