PAKi is the largest pooling specialist for exchangeable and standardized load carriers in Europe and, together with its partners, operates an extensive network of around 10,000 pooling stations. Sven Kokemor joins PAKi from the listed aluminum company Hydro. During his ten years at Hydro, he worked as the finance and commercial manager of a plant in the region and helped to establish a new site in India.

He is joining PAKi to support the company on its growth path. "PAKi has an absolutely contemporary business model with its focus on topics such as sustainability and digitalization. It is also a successful company that still has a lot of growth potential. PAKi has a strong position in the market and has also weathered the economic crisis well so far this year. I also find it very appealing to be working in an industry other than manufacturing".

Christian Agasse, CEO of PAKi, says: "It is clear that PAKi has entered a new growth cycle, which is why we have expanded our organization in order to implement our strategy in the best possible way." The appointment of Sven Kokemor as CFO is therefore the logical addition to David Mayo, who joined the company a year ago as COO. "Because of our European character, we were looking for a candidate with a strong international background," adds Agasse. "Sven brings this and of course all the skills expected of a CFO, but he also wants to be fully involved in all aspects of PAKi's strategy. That's a big plus for us."

Sven Kokemor has spent the last 20 years working in industrial companies. He completed his training and business studies at ABC in Ennepetal, where he later worked in financial accounting and controlling until he accepted a position as commercial manager at an ABC subsidiary in the USA. After five years in the United States and completing an MBA there, he moved to Hydro.
