Aschaffenburg, 13 February 2018 – With the appointment of Thomas Ohnhaus as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of DPD Deutschland GmbH the international parcel and express service provider has slimmed down its management structure. In his new capacity Mr Ohnhaus, who has so far been closely involved in shaping the company's development as Regional Managing Director South, will report to DPD Germany’s CEO Boris Winkelmann. Martin Klink, a newcomer to DPD, assumed the post of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at the start of the year.

"Over many years Thomas Ohnhaus has built up a strong record in management at DPD, and he has a unique knowledge of the company's operating processes and structures"

"Over many years Thomas Ohnhaus has built up a strong record in management at DPD, and he has a unique knowledge of the company's operating processes and structures", comments DPD CEO Boris Winkelmann, adding: "I'm delighted that with his experience and drive he will help to make our company even more efficient and successful." A major role in this will be played by the continuing harmonisation of DPD's operating processes in Germany. In the course of 2017 all the company's subsidiaries which are responsible for operations in Germany were merged within DPD Deutschland GmbH. This also includes the former franchisees DPD Systemlogistik and DPD Zeitfracht, enabling DPD for the first time to operate throughout Germany as a single company.

As Regional Managing Director Thomas Ohnhaus has been a member of the DPD management team since December 2013, although he was already involved in regional management at an earlier stage from 2001 to 2008. He has many years of experience in the logistics industry with other companies, too.

In his newly created capacity as COO Thomas Ohnhaus is responsible for all the company's operating processes in Germany. He is supported in this by Dr. Jörg Schmeidler (Region North), Günter Pfaff (Region South) and Philipp Anhalt (Central Operations).

Since 1 January Martin Klink has been the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of DPD Deutschland GmbH. He replaces Dr. Philip Nölling, who left the company by mutual agreement in order to take up a new professional challenge in his home city of Hamburg. A qualified industrial engineer, Martin Klink has more than 20 years of experience in the finance and investment field with a range of enterprises in the technology and finance sector, most recently managing his own investment company.

In addition to Boris Winkelmann (CEO), the newly formed DPD management team in Germany consists of Thomas Ohnhaus (COO) and Martin Klink (CFO), together with Chief Sales Officer (CSO) Andreas Reß and Dirk Müller (Human Resources and Legal).
