Philipp Struck and his team in Hanover, Germany are responsible for the development of the latest Continental brand PLT summer tires for the EMEA region. With a focus on both original equipment and the replacement market they keep an eye on the latest trends, technologies, and regulations. 

Previously Struck has held positions in material research and winter tire development with a focus on the APAC market. 

Despite a PhD in theoretical physics he has not lost his hands-on, tinkerer mentality.

In his freetime, he likes to explore the limits of tires with both two and four wheeled vehicles (his road bike and sports car).
