Tructyre has announced a significant leadership change, revealing that Elizabeth Nagel will assume the position of Managing Director effective 1 July 2026. She joins the company directly from her current role as Manufacturing Transformation Officer at Michelin’s headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, France, bringing with her a background steeped in high-level industrial strategy and operational overhaul.

Prior to her tenure at Michelin, which began in 2023, Nagel spent over a decade at Corning, the United States-based materials science corporation.

Her career at Corning saw her leading extensive growth initiatives, managing global teams and steering complex industrial transformations, thereby building a robust foundation in large-scale project execution and organisational change. This combination of experience from two global industrial powerhouses positions her to drive Tructyre’s next phase of development.

Commenting on her appointment, Nagel said, “Tructyre is a business with strong momentum and significant potential, and I’m excited to get started. This also marks my first opportunity to work in the UK, and I’m looking forward to collaborating closely with the team to build on that strong foundation, strengthen performance across the business and accelerate the next phase of growth. We will continue to prioritise our people, safety, quality and operational excellence while bringing a strong focus on agility, continuous improvement and customer value. I believe there is a real opportunity to build on Tructyre’s strengths and position the business for long-term success by delivering even greater value for our customers.”
