As of March 1, 2008, Stefan Höcketstaller
will sign as the new CEO of M+R Spedag Switzerland, informs Daniel
Richner, Owner and President of the M+R Spedag Group.
For the past 6 years, Stefan Höcketstaller has managed and
continuously expanded the overland business of M+R Spedag
Switzerland. In April 2006, he has taken on the position of COO, and
has subsequently been responsible for all operative matters of M+R
Spedag Switzerland. He now assumes the overall responsibility, with
the aim to further cement the firm's position as the leading
independent logistics company in Switzerland.
"We are the only independent forwarder in Switzerland serving all
of Europe with regular line hauls. For all of our partners across
Europe, traffics with Switzerland are top priority. This focus
results in a high frequency of departures and unmatched reliability",
stresses Hoecketstaller. The company follows a similar strategy for
overseas traffics. For more than 30 years already it offers direct
consolidation services to various  destinations, e.g. to  New York or
even to  Morocco. In East- and South Africa, the group has been
represented with own offices for decades.
But the biggest growth is seen in East Asia. The new priority of
Daniel Richner will be to coordinate the ongoing expansion in this
region. One out of two of the group's employees is based in Asia,
where the organisation maintains 28 fully operational offices in 8
countries, and these numbers are likely to grow. "The Chinese market
is receiving our highest attention, and as owner of the company I
will actively bring in my expertise in the one area in which the 21st
century offers the biggest growth potential for the Group", he
comments.
M+R Spedag Group is a leading independent Swiss logistics company.
It employs around 1,200 people and has an annual turnover of over 450
million Swiss francs. The Group owned companies at 60 locations in 23
different countries and is part of a global network of partner
agencies.
