MEXICO CITY -- Rudiger Koch today becomes Volkswagen AG's purchasing director in Mexico.
Koch, 50, has been Volkswagen Group China's head of procurement since 2004.
He replaces Rafael Pinero, 59, who is returning to Germany after eight years in the job. Pinero will work at VW headquarters in Wolfsburg, a company spokesman in Mexico said.
Volkswagen's purchasing director in Mexico is responsible for procurement throughout North America.
