At the end of July 2025, the head of Pöttinger’s plant in Vodňany (CZ), Jindra Susolová, retires after nearly two decades in the post. She successfully led and developed the production and technology site in Vodňany since 2007. In August she will be succeeded by Monika Susolová.
After leaving school, 40-year-old Monika Susolová studied at the Faculty of Business Management at Prague University of Economics and Business, qualifying as an engineer in 2010. She started working at Pöttinger in 2011, in the contract paintwork division. She quickly rose through the ranks, first becoming head of painting technology and then taking over production management. She began her new job as plant manager with a transitional phase of several months during which she received the full support of Jindra Susolová. “I start my retirement with mixed feelings,” says the departing plant manager. “It was an amazing journey, full of challenges and success stories that I will never forget.”
Jörg Lechner, head of Production & Material Logistics at Pöttinger Landtechnik, says of the change at the top: “This marks a significant transition in the management and organisation at Vodňany. With her experience and expertise, Monika Susolová will tackle her new responsibilities with total commitment in order to drive the success and growth of the team to new levels.”
