GKN Automotive says Igor Skornik has joined the Niche, Customer, Motorsport & Aftermarket (NMA) management team as vice president.

Most recently, as commercial director aftermarket at NGK Spark Plug Europe, Skornik was responsible for sales and trade marketing in the EMEA region.

Skornik started his career at GKN Driveline Slovenia, where he worked in several international positions and business areas with increasing responsibility.

Skornik, who graduated in Economics from the University of Maribor, Slovenia, will report directly to Markus Bannert, COO Driveline. He will be based in Roesrath, near Cologne, Germany.

Earlier this year, the Britain-based suppplier said it had delivered its one millionth eDrive system.

Demand for GKN Automotive’s expanding eDrive portfolio, which encompasses a range of driveline technologies for electrified vehicles, has increased markedly during recent years.
