Karsten Dirks becomes operational managing director
As of today, the 53-year-old will take over the operational management of BLG AutoTerminal Bremerhaven. In future, he will be responsible for the site together with Commercial Managing Director Jan Bellendorf.
Karsten Dirks was Managing Director of EVAG/ELAG Emder Verkehrs und Automotive Gesellschaft for many years. "We are very pleased to have gained Mr. Dirks as an experienced manager and proven expert for us and are convinced that he will make a valuable contribution to the future of our team with his in-depth knowledge of the industry, his extensive experience and his good network," says Board Member and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the BLG Group, Matthias Magnor.
Karsten Dirks succeeds Jan Rosenkranz, who will leave BLG AutoTerminal Bremerhaven as Interim Managing Director at the end of August. Matthias Magnor praises his commitment: "Jan Rosenkranz has achieved a great deal in recent months and created a good basis for the repositioning of the terminal. In terms of restructuring, we are on a very good path, but there is still a lot to do." Among other things, this concerns the number of vehicles in the core area of the car terminal, which remains high.
