CEO Cees van Gent Leaves LEHNKERING after Successful Sale
After successfully concluding the takeover of the LEHNKERING Group by IMPERIAL Holdings Limited on 2 January 2012, LEHNKERING’S CEO Cees van Gent has decided to leave the company. He will take on a new challenge in the future. Gerhard Riemann, member of the Executive Board at IMPERIAL Holdings Ltd and Chief Executive Officer of IMPERIAL logistics International B.V. & Co. KG, also becomes the CEO of the LEHNKERING Group.
Cees van Gent (49) joined LEHNKERING as COO of the Road Logistics & Services division in October 2007 and was appointed CEO of the LEHNKERING Group in January 2008. Prior to this – after spending periods of time at Nedlloyd, Exel Logistics, DHL Worldwide Express and ABX Logistics – he was CEO at DHL Freight Germany.
Mr van Gent has continually developed the company during the last four years and provided the vital stimulus for sustainable growth. Van Gent’s focus on value creation for shareholders has not only increased the value of the company in the long term, but also further expanded the company’s market position as Europe’s leading logistics services provider for the chemical and steel industry.
