Cargotec has appointed Casimir Lindholm as its new president and CEO as of 1 April 2023, when incumbent Mika Vehviläinen retires.

Lindholm has held CEO positions both in Eltel and Lemminkäinen and many board memberships, bringing a wealth of experience to Cargotec. He has been a member of Cargotec's board of directors since 2021, and due to his appointment, he will no longer be available for re-election.

Lindholm is a seasoned leader as a listed company CEO with a proven track record of reshaping businesses. His participation in Cargotec’s board is an advantage, providing profound knowledge and understanding of Cargotec’s business and strategic direction, the board explains.
Chairman Jaakko Eskola has meanwhile expressed the board’s gratitude to Vehviläinen for his leadership and outstanding contributions to the business. Vehviläinen was appointed as Cargotec CEO in 2013 and the company announced his resignation late last year.

Hoppecke UK - United Kingdom

Hoppecke UK is continuing to build its team to maintain customer service levels amid increasing demand for its materials handling equipment (MHE) batteries and a growing involvement in rail projects.

Of the six new appointments announced at Hoppecke's Staffordshire hub, three are additions to the warehouse team while the company has recruited and promoted from within to boost its engineering capability.

General manager Stuart Browne says: "We were busier than ever in 2022 as more and more logistics businesses turned to us for preventative maintenance, so it was essential to put in place the resources to maintain high standards of customer service. Growing the team means we can do so much more to support customers around the country."

 Warehouse technician Weston Coyney has more than 10 years' warehousing and logistics experience, while Nick Hissey is new to the industry, having worked in brewery distribution for over 20 years. Meanwhile, after four years as a warehouse technician, Jason Harrison is now an engineer carrying out modifications to train batteries.

Daniel Thomson, formerly with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, and Antonio Gallo are field service engineers. As well as maintaining existing batteries and chargers, they help customers to reduce operational costs and improve energy efficiency.

In the rail sector, Hoppecke works in partnership with key rolling stock operators to develop practical, cost-effective solutions. Tayyab Mohammad, who has a Masters degree in electrical engineering, has joined the company specifically to help develop this growing side of the business.
