Management change at SBB Cargo International und Hupac Intermodal
Sven Flore (54) will head SBB Cargo International from July 2018. The current boss, Michail Stahlhut, is moving to the combined transport operator Hupac Intermodal AG, where he will take over the management from August 2018.
Most recently, Sven Flore worked as an advisor for railway companies and managed a leasing company for locomotives. He can draw on his comprehensive experience of managing logistics companies from his previous positions at TX Logistik and Rail4Chem. His technical expertise will support him with tasks ranging from renewing the fleet through to increasing interoperability.
Michail Stahlhut has developed SBB Cargo International since its launch in 2010 and has made his mark. The opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel and the associated successful preparations for rail freight were a milestone. Stahlhut has previously been employed in management positions at various German railway companies.
Bernhard Kunz (60), Director of Hupac Intermodal AG and Hupac AG since 2001, will head Hupac AG for two more years from August. Afterwards, he will support the enterprise as a Member of the Administrative Board when it comes to strategic projects.
The current ownership of SBB Cargo International remains unchanged (SBB Cargo AG is holding 75 percent and Hupac AG is holding 25 percent). The transition away from Michail Stahlhut will not result in any additional integration into Hupac AG; the independence and neutrality of SBB Cargo International on the market will remain the same, reads a media release.
SBB Cargo International is a railway company with its own operating licences for the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, and operates mainly on the north-south corridor between the northern ports and northern Italy. The cargo railway company has about 135 locomotives and moves more than 30,000 trains per year, thus shifting the transport of more than 10 billion net-tonne kilometres.
