G\u00f6ttingen, 12 AUGUST 2024<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Taking effect on September 1, the ZUFALL logistics group is reassembling its management structure<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

J\u00fcrgen Wolpert (65) is stepping down from the management board at the end of August due to his age but will remain part of the company. In his new position within the management team, he will continue to be responsible for the Overland Transport, Night Star Express, and Cooperation divisions. ZUFALL CEO Peter M\u00fcller-Kronberg (40) will take over interim management of the Contract Logistics, Customs, and Sea and Air Freight product areas before Christian L\u00f6schen (44) completes the new management team as COO in the first half of 2025. Thomas K\u00f6hler (53) will also join the Management Board as CFO. Christoph G\u00f6bel (59) will remain on the Executive Board as CRO (Chief Regional Officer). The new management structure with CEO, CFO and COO reflects the future focus of the family-owned company. The clear separation between the areas of responsibility also increases the effectiveness on the management level.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Christian L\u00f6schen is moving from the management of Schnellecke Logistics to join the ZUFALL logistics group. The experienced logistics expert will bring new ideas to the management level: \u201cZUFALL is a logistics company with a long tradition, ready to make a holistic and uncompromising commitment to the future in line with the three Ps – people, planet, profit. I am inspired by this transformative, visible will of the people, and I look forward to courageously advancing issues together in the future.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

ZUFALL is creating a high degree of consistency and continuity within this change. \u201cChristian L\u00f6schen will accompany our transformation and accelerate the positive change in the company,\u201d says Peter M\u00fcller-Kronberg. \u201cWith Thomas K\u00f6hler, we are also appointing a long-standing ZUFALLer and valued colleague to the management board, with whom the company’s solid financial policy is secured. In addition, J\u00fcrgen Wolpert, with his extensive expertise, will remain on the management board until the end of 2025.\u201d In this way, ZUFALL is creating a balance as a prerequisite for stability and future viability. M\u00fcller-Kronberg continues: \u201cWe are setting the course for the future, for tomorrow, with the realignment of management and leadership.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Regulated succession<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

J\u00fcrgen Wolpert was a member of the company’s management team for almost 20 years, during which time he had overall responsibility for all products. To avoid disruption and stagnation, responsibilities are now being gradually redistributed and handed over. \u201cI am proud of what we have achieved together over these years. And I’m glad that we’ve been able to recruit Christian L\u00f6schen, a logistician through and through, as my successor,\u201d explains Wolpert. \u201cFrom September, I will be stepping down a little and helping to ensure a good, smooth transition in the management team.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

About the ZUFALL logistics group<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

ZUFALL logistics group is a family-run transport and logistics service provider. Founded in 1928 in Kassel, the company is now based in G\u00f6ttingen. The company is divided into two major divisions: Transportation and Logistics. The transportation division includes overland transport in Germany and Europe, Night Star Express, air and ocean freight and customs services. The logistics division focuses on contract logistics, which involves customer-oriented, long-term cooperation between companies and logistics service providers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

With around 2,100 employees at 11 locations throughout Germany, the company transports around 5 million consignments per year and generated a turnover of around 430 million euros in the last financial year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The company has set out to make logistics sustainable and mindful. In 2019, ZUFALL founded the zufall.lab in G\u00f6ttingen. The experimental workshop focuses on research and development. Here, the logistics service provider tests new logistics approaches, prototypes and processes for better and more sustainable logistics of tomorrow.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
