Becker will lead operations in Europe, the CIS region, and Southeast Asia and the Pacific (SEAPAC). D’Abreo will oversee operations in the Americas, India, China, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA). They will replace Carsten Schröter, who has left the company.

Becker joined Rhenus in 2017 as the head of projects in Germany, later becoming managing director of project logistics Germany. In 2023, he was appointed managing director of Rhenus Offshore Logistics Germany.

D’Abreo’s leadership experience spans more than 30 years, having started his logistics career at KOG Transport. Following the Rhenus acquisition of KOG in 2015, he served as executive vice president and later as president of KOG until the company rebranded and operations transitioned to Rhenus in 2019. He then went on to serve as president of Rhenus Project Logistics in the USA.

Together, they will spearhead Rhenus Project Logistics, with a strategic focus on network expansion and product development within renewables, energy, mining, oil and gas, and steel plants.

Becker will prioritise strengthening the company’s presence in the renewables sector and providing turnkey solutions for industrial projects in Türkiye and the CIS. Additionally, he will supervise the network’s expansion in SEAPAC.

Meanwhile, D’Abreo will concentrate on bolstering the North American market, specifically in oil, gas, and renewables. Additionally, he will further expand Rhenus offshore services in Eastern Canada and grow Rhenus project logistics services in Latin America, particularly in mining and solar industries. D’Abreo will also strengthen connections in India’s export market for industrialised and project cargo and establish a robust project structure in the MEA region.
