August 18 - Effective January 1, 2016, Jochen Müller will join the Dachser management team and will take over from Thomas Reuter as chief operations officer of the company's Air & Sea Logistics business on January 1, 2018

Reuter will remain on the company's Executive Board in his role as head of Air & Sea Logistics through the transition period until he retires on December 31, 2017.

Previous to Dachser, Müller joined the executive board of Schenker Deutschland AG in 2011, where he was in charge of air freight and sales (Air/Sea) for Central Europe, as well as logistics for worldwide relocations, trade shows, and sporting events.

Prior to that, he served as CEO of Schenker's UK organisation, where he was responsible for land, air, and sea freight as well as the trade show business.

Reuter has worked at Dachser since 1978 and has been a member of the Executive Board since early 2006. He played a major role in the internationalisation of the logistics supplier by building up a global network of air and sea freight locations.

Meanwhile,  the company has also appointed Thomas Krüger as managing director of Air & Sea Logistics EMEA, reporting to Thomas Reuter.

Krüger has held a variety of management positions at Dachser Air & Sea Logistics. From 2004 to 2006, he was sales manager for Germany, after which he headed up global sales management until 2012. Most recently, he was responsible for the Northern Central Europe (NCE) region. He succeeded Rüdiger Klug, who joined Dachser in 2009 and retired on June 30, 2016.
