Wilvorst Herrenmoden GmbH, part of the Bugatti Holding Brinkmann since 1993 and a specialist in high-quality formal wear based in Northeim, is restructuring its management: Frank Ullrich-Cattien will be the new managing director on January 1, 2026. The 45-year-old from Düsseldorf has over two decades of experience in international purchasing of men’s clothing as well as in the development and production of own brands. His professional positions include the men’s clothing store Anson’s, where he has worked as a buyer since 2005, and most recently the position as senior buyer and collection manager at Peek & Cloppenburg in Düsseldorf.
He succeeds long-time managing director Andreas Wolf, who is leaving the company at his own request and taking early retirement. Wolf has been working at Wilvorst for 40 years and has been in charge of sales, purchasing and marketing since 2017.
In the future, Ullrich-Cattien will drive the further strategic development of the Wilvorst brand together with Managing Director Stefan Kohlmann (56), who has been responsible for finance, human resources and operations since 2017. His goals include increasing brand appeal, sharpening and communicating brand identity, and expansion.
Julius Brinkmann, Managing Director of bugatti Holding Brinkmann: “We are very pleased to have gained an experienced industry expert in Frank Ullrich-Cattien. We expect that the new management duo Frank Ullrich-Cattien and Stefan Kohlmann will provide important impetus for the internationalization of the Wilvorst brand as well as for sustainable sales growth. We would like to thank Andreas Wolf for the many years of trusting cooperation and wish him all the best for the next phase of his life.”
