Elizabeth Nagel has been appointed to take on the role of Managing Director of commercial vehicle tyre services provider Tructyre, effective 1 July 2026. She will lead a team of more than 430 staff, committed to removing or mitigating every tyre-related risk faced by operators of trucks, trailers, buses and coaches in Britain.
Nagel will join Tructyre from Michelin’s headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, France, where she is Manufacturing Transformation Officer – responsible for leading the global deployment of Michelin Group’s 2030 strategy across its manufacturing operations.
Prior to joining Michelin in March 2023, Elizabeth spent more than a decade at US-based materials science leader Corning, where she held several high-impact leadership roles across manufacturing, innovation, and business development in Kentucky, New Jersey and North Carolina. During this time, she built up extensive experience leading large-scale growth initiatives, global teams, and complex industrial transformations.
Commenting on her appointment, Nagel says: “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.”
Nagel will report directly to David Jean, CEO of Euromaster Group.
