Mues can look back on thirty years of experience in logistics. For the past 13 years, he was Head of Production and a member of the Executive Board at SBB Cargo, the freight division of Swiss Federal Railways. Prior to that, he held various management positions, including Director of Logistics and Informatics at Roche Consumer Health and Supply Chain Manager at Sanofi, based in Paris and Cologne. He holds degrees from the University of St. Gallen and the Cologne University of Applied Sciences.

The new appointment to the position of COO at Imperial Logistics International is part of a program to rationalize the currently geographically dispersed business of many highly specialized subsidiaries in business areas such as hazardous materials storage, automotive logistics, chemical transport and inland shipping.

Hakan Bicil, CEO of Imperial Logistics International, explains: "Imperial Logistics International consists of many strong companies with unparalleled performance and success in their respective fields, but only a few of them are currently realizing their potential outside their home markets." Bicil continues: "In order to realize Imperial Logistics' ambitious growth plans, we need to create the framework conditions for the expansion of these highly successful companies. The new appointment to the COO position is key to the expansion of our business across the board," Bicil continues. He continues: "Fortunately, we have been able to recruit Jürgen Mues. He brings with him many years of experience as well as enthusiasm for innovation and the use of state-of-the-art technologies - a decisive asset for our management. With his help, we will take Imperial Logistics International to the next level of success."
