Imperial Logistics International about to change its CEO

Carsten Taucke told Imperial executives on 28th of November that his decision had not been an easy one and that he had thought about it for a long time. However, he said he wanted to set new priorities, in particular spending more time his family.

“Over the next twelve months, Carsten Taucke will actively continue to lead the company with his typically strong commitment and focus on results in all areas of his responsibility,“ said Marius Swanepoel, CEO of the Global Logistics Division at Imperial Logistics. Taucke will also be closely involved in the selection of his successor and in the handover of his management responsibilities to that successor.

Carsten Taucke joined Imperial in 2010, initially as a member of the management team at what was then known as Imperial Reederei. He took over the position of chief executive of Imperial Shipping Holding GmbH in 2011 and also became a member of the Management Board at Imperial Logistics International B.V. & Co. KG. Carsten Taucke has been CEO of Imperial Logistics International B.V. Co. KG since 1 January 2015.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of the South African company Imperial Holdings Limited, Imperial Logistics International B.V. & Co. KG, which has its headquarters in Duisburg, is responsible for coordinating and managing all the international logistics business of Imperial Holdings Limited outside Africa. Imperial Logistics International employs more than 9,000 people and, including the new acquisition, Palletways, generates turnover amounting to EUR 1.6 billion at 170 business locations.
