"The part load system has developed very positively in recent years. Handling volumes have grown continuously, as has the number of connected partner companies," summarizes Jochen Eschborn, Managing Director of Elvis Teilladungssystem GmbH and CEO of ELVIS AG. In order to adapt capacities to demand, the storage and handling area of the hub in Knüllwald was doubled to 20,000 square meters only around a year ago. "Now we need to align the management of the company with the new size and the strategic goal of national and international growth," says Eschborn.

With the appointment of Klonnek and Renner, the shareholders' meeting is also initiating the gradual withdrawal of Jochen Eschborn from the management board, of which he is the spokesman until further notice.

Vanessa Klonnek will take over the management of the international business. The 43-year-old business economist has been working for the part-load system since 2020 and brings a wealth of international experience to Knüllwald after long stays abroad, including in Melbourne, Chicago and New York. Her aim is to expand cross-border groupage transports and part loads. Klonnek: "We also want to grow internationally with our truck-mounted forklift network."

She will be supported by Steffen Renner, who will now be responsible for all of the company's domestic activities. The 57-year-old transport specialist from Naumburg (Saale) can look back on more than 20 years of working for various general cargo cooperatives and has been responsible for all operational processes at the Knüllwald hub as an authorized representative of the part load system since July 2019. He is coming on board to further increase the efficiency of the processes there, expand the network and acquire new partners. Renner: "I see the prerequisites for this in a streamlined organization with a very high degree of digitalization."
