Continental’s group sector ContiTech has appointed Rohit Markan as the Executive Vice President Industrial Solutions for Asia Pacific (APAC). He previously held senior roles in different companies and most recently functioned as the CEO of Roquette Asia Pacific.
Rohit Markan took up his new role on November 17th, 2025, and will report directly to Executive Board member for Continental’s group sector ContiTech Philip Nelles. Based at ContiTech’s location in Singapore, he will manage industrial operations across the APAC region including markets such as India, China, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, Korea as well as Southeast Asia. One focus of his work will be on continuing to optimize organizational structures and processes across product groups and customer industries. In addition, as a member of ContiTech’s recently created Executive Management Committee, he will play a key role in shaping the future direction of the group sector, which is to be made independent in 2026.
Rohit Markan succeeds Hannes Friederichsen, who left the company after many years and goes into retirement. The APAC business area encompasses ContiTech’s industrial business in Asia and the Pacific region, including products made from rubber and plastics – such as hoses, conveyor belts, drive belts and air springs – for a wide range of industries.
