"We are delighted that Rüdiger Grube, an outstanding logistics manager with a strong affinity for Hamburg, has been appointed to this position. The Senate thanks Prof. Witten for his successful commitment as Chairman of HHLA's Supervisory Board and acknowledges his achievements. During his 10-year term of office, HHLA has enjoyed stable development as the largest employer in the Port of Hamburg. Under Prof. Witten's leadership, the Supervisory Board has also completed the generational change on HHLA's Executive Board."
