Best Logistics, 80 per cent owned by Felbermayr Group, is going through the first change at the helm since it was established in 2000. With the company founder Andreas Häfner retiring on March 15, the reigns have been taken over by Peter Stöttinger, Managing Director of Felbermayr Transport and Lifting Technology, and Monika Foryśś, who had previously worked in the company as an authorised signatory and project manager in the forwarding division. Stöttinger and Foryśś were appointed as the new management team. 

Furthermore, Piotr Bossy will assume the role of authorised signatory. Andreas Häfner will continue to support the companies of the Felbermayr Group, including Best Logistics, as a consultant.

Since its establishment, Best Logistics has become firmly established in the Polish market as a specialised provider of customised logistics services for moving oversized loads. The company fills a gap in the market as a link between business partners in Poland and Western Europe. The core business of the Polish Felbermayr subsidiary involves the organisation of transport, transhipment as well as on-site assembly of heavy and oversized goods throughout Poland, Europe and worldwide.

“We would like to thank Mr Häfner for his exceptional commitment. His foresight made it possible to establish a provider offering outstanding service quality on the Polish market. In line with his vision, our aim is to continue developing and to demonstrate that we are a strong partner for Polish and international customers in project logistics,” explains Peter Stöttinger, who took over the general management of Best Logistics alongside Monika Foryś when Häfner left the company. The 51-year-old Stöttinger is able to look back on a long career in the transport industry.

The qualified economist has been working for the transport and lifting technology specialist Felbermayr, which is active in 17 European countries, since 1991. Following the completion of his studies, he headed the project department from 2005 to 2010 prior to being nominated Managing Director of Felbermayr Transport and Lifting Technology in 2010. Stöttinger has since played a key role in the company’s success and enjoys an excellent network in the industry.

The 41-year-old Foryśś is already known in the company since she launched her professional career and her 17-year tenure at Best Logistics qualifies her for the position of Managing Director.

Foryśś completed her engineering degree at the Maritime University in Szczecin. Her thesis on the “transport of abnormal and oversized loads” was completed utilising information from the company. Foryś’s career at Best Logistics has since progressed from assistant in the forwarding department to scheduling and assistant to the Management Board. Foryś was most recently not only responsible for the management of projects in the forwarding division but was also an authorised signatory.
