Change at the top at vPOOL Logistics GmbH
11 November 2024Wörnitz, 11 November 2024 - vPOOL Logistics GmbH, a subsidiary of the Dutch Faber Group specializing in sustainable load carrier pooling in the food industry, has undergone a significant change in management. Andreas Lenz has been appointed CEO and Torsten Junker CFO. This brings fresh perspectives and promising opportunities for the future.
Over the past 2.5 years of successful management at vPOOL, David Mayo has provided decisive impetus as CEO. Under his leadership, the strategic visions and values of the Faber Group have been successfully integrated and an important course has been set for the growth of vPOOL. The transition in the management structure was carefully prepared in close consultation with Ingrid Faber, CEO of the Faber Group, and has now been officially completed. Andreas Lenz took over the position of CEO on October 1, 2024, while Torsten Junker completes the new management team as CFO. "I am sure that with Andreas and Torsten we have a strong management team to realize vPOOL's growth targets. I wish them all the best in their new roles," says Ingrid Faber.
Andreas Lenz, who joined vPOOL in November 2022, brings a wealth of experience in sales and logistics. In his previous role at vPOOL as Director of Sales, he has already established solid sales and marketing processes that have supported vPOOL on its path to further growth. His vision and commitment will now be crucial in shaping the next strategically relevant steps in the company's development.
Torsten Junker, who has been part of the vPOOL family since November 2014, has proven to be very valuable. Initially working as Corporate Controller, he was promoted to Director of Finance in mid-2022. His extensive experience, previously gained as an auditor, will be of great benefit in the new structure and contribute to the stability and efficiency of vPOOL.
In their joint statement, Andreas Lenz and Torsten Junker emphasize that they are firmly behind the new goals and visions of vPOOL and the Faber Group: "With its creative approaches and minds, vPOOL has exciting growth potential in the circular economy of load carriers. Thanks to AI and other innovations, processes are becoming more efficient and sustainable. Furthermore, reusable containers can be better localized through smart tracking solutions. We are determined to devote ourselves fully to these new positions and responsibilities. Creativity, stability and a spirit of partnership within vPOOL as well as with our customers and service providers are our top priorities. Together with our dedicated team in Wörnitz, we want to set the course for a successful future."
