The internationally active Geis Group restructured its management in the Logistics Services division at the turn of the year. Erik Lassen has been at the helm since January 1, 2024. The 54-year-old is responsible for all of the Geis Group's contract logistics activities in Germany. He takes over the position from Dr. Johannes Söllner, who has officially retired but will continue to support the company in an advisory capacity. Erik Lassen will be supported by Patrick Mense and Marco Weißensel, who have both been appointed Operational Managing Directors for logistics in Germany.

Erik Lassen has been at home in the logistics industry for more than 27 years. The new Chairman of the Management Board of Logistics Germany has been Managing Director of Geis Industrie-Service GmbH, in which the Group bundles its contract logistics activities, since 2007. In various roles, he has become familiar with almost all facets of contract logistics - from business development to operational management. "We are delighted that Erik Lassen, an extremely experienced manager from our own company, is taking over the baton," explains Jochen Geis, Managing Partner.

Patrick Mense and Marco Weißensel were also appointed Operative Managing Directors at the turn of the year. Both have already been appointed to the Executive Board as of April 1, 2023 and share responsibility for the logistics locations of the Logistics Services division. Patrick Mense only joined the Geis Group last year. He has over 25 years of experience in logistics management and has previously held various management positions - most recently as a member of the management team at Loxxess AG. At Geis Group Logistics Services, the 50-year-old is now responsible for one of the two operations divisions with logistics projects in Germany, Hungary and Luxembourg as well as the Business Development & Solution Design and Implementation divisions.

Marco Weißensel is responsible for the second Operations division with logistics locations throughout Germany.

Most recently, as Head of Logistics, he was responsible for projects in the Erlangen/Forchheim, Schweinfurt/Gochsheim/Schwebheim and Bad Neustadt regions.
