Ortwin Nast new Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Meyer & Meyer

"We would like to thank Mr Müllerschön for the extremely constructive and much appreciated cooperation over the past four years or so," says CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and Chairman of the Board Maximilian Meyer. "The newly composed Supervisory Board with Mr Nast in the chair reflects very well our identity as a medium-sized family business and at the same time reflects focal points of our strategic goals." Ortwin Nast was CEO of the transport and logistics company Hoyer Group for more than 14 years until the beginning of 2021 and is now active as a Supervisory Board member, investor and consultant. Just like Dietmar Hemsath, CFO (Chief Financial Officer) | BU Mobility at Georgsmarienhütte Holding GmbH, and Prof. Dr. Ingmar Ickerott, Professor of Logistics Management and Dean at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, he has been a member of Meyer & Meyer's Supervisory Board since 2021. The new member, who has yet to be appointed, will represent the strategic focus in the areas of e-commerce, digitalisation and omnichannel.

The realignment of the Supervisory Board follows a change in the executive board at the end of last year. Since November 2022, the board members Theresa and Maximilian Meyer have been leading the Osnabrück-based logistics company Meyer & Meyer as dual leaders. Peter Schnitzler had previously left the company as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). "We took this step in close consultation with everyone involved in order to implement our goal of a lean and agile management structure," says Maximilian Meyer. Together, he and Theresa Meyer, Chief Transformation Officer, have integrated the former finance department and the pending divisions into their responsibilities. "In addition to our employees, our customers and partners in particular will also benefit from the bundling of competences," Maximilian Meyer continues. "By further strengthening and expanding the networked cooperation within the company, we accelerate decisions and processes. The resulting integrated corporate processes are already having a positive effect on our speed at the interfaces as well."

The company's medium-term goal is to further expand the core business areas of transport and warehouse logistics as well as textile solutions. "Against the backdrop of limited resources and sometimes dysfunctional supply chains, we are looking for economic and secure solutions in transport and warehouse logistics for our customers in Germany and internationally," says Maximilian Meyer. With integrated services from the areas of transport, warehousing and VAS, the family-owned company Meyer & Meyer is represented at a total of eight locations in Germany and six locations in Africa, Europe and West Asia.
