The Combined Transport (CT) operator says that Weber’s appointment is aimed at further developing CT, expanding sustainable transport solutions and strengthening Hupac’s market position in European intermodal land transport.
Mutual enthusiasm
“I am delighted to welcome Britta Weber to her new role. She has over twenty years of international experience in the logistics industry: she combines a clear strategic vision with strong leadership skills and a deep understanding of our customers’ needs”, commented Hans-Jörg Bertschi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hupac.
For her own part, Weber expresses enthusiasm for her new assignment: “It is a great honour for me to become part of the Hupac Group. Hupac stands for much more than a successful company; it has a clear social mission: sustainable logistics and the consistent shift of transport to rail.”
“I am particularly looking forward to working with the strong management team, whom I hold in high regard for their achievements. With great motivation and enthusiasm, we will successfully shape the next phase of the Group’s development together”, Weber continued.
