As 2019 quickly approaches, changes in leadership for DACHSER Intelligent Logistics are already in the works for the new year. Previously the Head of Sales for DACHSER France’s overland transport organization, Mr. Vincent Touya will now lead the US management team as the Managing Director beginning  February 1, 2019 at the US Regional Office in Atlanta. He will succeed Frank Guenzerodt, known for leading efforts that grew the company’s global network for the 14 years, according to the company realse earlier this month.

“Mr. Touya has been successful in expanding the air and sea freight business in France and North Africa and we look forward to his contributions in the US market,” Guido Gries said in response to the company’s announcement.

With an impressive background inclusive of more than 23 years with the company leading successful logistics efforts, the transition in leadership is anticipated with much optimism. Mr. Touya brings robust market knowledge the company can leverage for initiatives in the U.S. market region. This is another  initiative for 2018 the company has implemented in an effort to expand its national footprint. Earlier this year, DACHSER announced the opening of a Detroit-based office for the Midwestern region.

“With his thorough understanding of both business fields, he is well placed to develop and implement integrated, intercontinental supply chains for US customers,” Gries said.
