Panalpina creates supply chain solutions entity

Freight forwarder Panalpina has created a new supply chain solutions entity that will aim to create more efficient end-to-end transport operations for customers.
The supply chain solutions business will be led by Hans Elmegaard in the role of global head of Supply Chain Solutions, reporting to Karl Weyeneth, chief commercial officer, who is a member of the executive board.
The company said it would expand its global and regional teams covering supply chains in the coming months.
