Logistics Initiative Hamburg appoints new managing director

Hamburg, 17.07.2018 -

Logistik-Initiative Hamburg (LIHH) has undergone a structural reorganization, including the appointment of Carmen Schmidt as its new sole Managing Director. In order to position LIHH sustainably for the future and reduce existing duplicate structures, the establishment and development of Logistik-Initiative Hamburg Management GmbH has been driven forward in recent months.

"The changed framework conditions for the logistics industry require the initiative to realign itself not only organizationally but also in terms of content," explained Carmen Schmidt, "I am delighted that the Supervisory Board has placed its trust in me to successfully manage this challenging task of shaping the future of LIHH."
