Jörn Fontius new Managing Director of Beumer Maschinenfabrik
Beumer Maschinenfabrik, the German regional company of the Beumer Group in Beckum, has had a new Managing Director since May: Dr. Jörn Fontius. He succeeds Norbert Stemich, who is concentrating on the product business after eight years.
Fontius joined Beumer Maschinenfabrik in 2013 and was responsible for corporate strategy. He then headed global supply chain management. At the end of 2019, he moved to Beumer Corporation in Arlington, Texas, the North American subsidiary of the Beumer Group. Until April 2021, he was President Airport Division for North America.
Before joining the system provider in 2013, he was a member of the management board of the German Logistics Association (BVL). The non-profit association with around 11,300 members from the management levels of industry, trade, services and science sees itself as a competence network for logistics. Dr. Fontius studied business administration and completed a doctorate in logistics while working. He brings a great deal of experience to his new role. "I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead," he says.
