Bosch Group announced Thursday that it had named Choi Euy-jun, managing director of Bosch Korea’s diesel systems division and general manager of its Daejeon plant, to head its diesel business in Korea.

The new diesel chief joined the Korean unit of the German auto parts maker in 1995 to lead the production team of the antilock braking system, or ABS. In 2004, he was also dispatched to Germany to oversee the CP3 diesel systems at the company’s Feuerbach plant.

Since 2007, he has served as managing director of the diesel systems division in Korea.

Choi majored in mechanical engineering at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul and earned an MBA and a doctorate degree in production management at Chungnam University.
