The division offers high-performance filters and system components for motorcycles, cars and trucks, regardless of the type of drive system.

Dackam has held various management positions at the Germany-headquartered filtration company since 2002. Most recently, as president & general manager of Water & Membrane Solutions, he was responsible for managing and steering the activities of this business unit and driving its growth. He holds a Master of Science in Chemical and Process Engineering from the University of Karlsruhe (KIT) and an MBA from Western Michigan University, USA.

“The Automotive aftermarket is in a phase of upheaval characterized by several factors: the digital revolution, the accelerated introduction of new technologies, the transformation of mobility and changing customer expectations,” said Dackam. “I look forward to driving this transformation with my global teams. Together, we will adapt our value creation through digitalization, better aligning our business model with market needs and diversifying our product portfolio and brand offering to serve our customers even better.”

Dackam succeeds Stefan Tolle who is retiring.

“Stefan has done an amazing job for the past three years, preparing our transformation coinciding with the changes in the automotive industry, always keeping our customers in the spotlight. Now that he is leaving for his well-deserved retirement, I am proud to have Cedric on our team to tackle new challenges,” said Kurk Wilks, CEO of Mann+Hummel.
