He has also been appointed Managing Director of B-Log GmbH, a joint venture between the L.I.T. Group and J. Müller Weser GmbH & Co. KG.

Jan Müller, CEO of J. Müller SE, welcomed the new appointment: “Despite the current economic challenges, we remain convinced of the long-term potential of the breakbulk market and are consistently expanding our capacities at the Port of Brake. We are committed to actively offering these enhanced capabilities to the market. We are therefore delighted to welcome Sven Riekers, a proven expert in the port and logistics industry, whose experience will further strengthen our expertise.”
