From 1 September 2016, we have had the pleasure of greeting Mr Henry Schmidl under his new title of Managing Director of MBS Logistics Asia, which has its headquarters in Hong Kong. He is taking over from Mr Stefan Wilkes who returned to Germany at the end of the year after seven successful years of business development work for MBS in China and Asia. The company has appointed Mr Schmidl as Director of the Asia Pacific region. He will lead our Asian organisation together with our long-time country managing director for China, Abraham Tao. With this lucrative new addition
to the MBS family, we are laying the foundations for the continued future growth of the company in the Asian market. As the Director of the Asia Pacific region, Mr Schmidl‘s activities will include taking responsibility for continuing to drive the strategic development of MBS Logistics in Asia and to continue to tap into new business markets on an ongoing basis.
MBS Logistics Asia already has 15 of its own offices in China, Singapore and Vietnam and around 100 employees.
Mr Schmidl has worked in shipping and logistics since the beginning of his career and possesses impressive credentials, held challenging and responsible management positions for well-known logistics companies in the past. Not only does he have years of experience and expertise in management, he also has a strong bond with the Chinese metropolis of Hong Kong, as he has lived and worked in Asia for over ten years. Mr Schmidl‘s knowledge of the country, people and culture, in combination with his outstanding technical skills mean that he is the ideal candidate both to establish MBS in the Asian market on a long-term basis but also to facilitate its continuous growth and increase its area of influence. MBS can therefore look forward to a successful future together with Mr Schmidl and Mr Tao.
