New line-up on 50th anniversary

04.09.2025
SCHORTENS. In July, Nordfrost celebrated 50 years of corporate history. Horst Bartels founded the company on 1 July 1975 and turned it into a logistics provider with a broad base and the market leader in refrigerated logistics. During the annual conference, which took place a few days prior to the jubilee, Dr Falk Bartels resigned as managing director and reassigned responsibilities: “I fully endorse my sister’s decision to continue running Nordfrost as a family company, working alongside the managing directors Philipp Brandstrup and Dennis Gloystein, and wish all those involved the very best,” said Dr Falk Bartels. Britta Bartels (3rd from right), as Board Chairwoman, has since been focussing on the areas of finance, marketing and communication. Brandstrup (2nd from left) is in charge of port logistics, commercial estate as well as HR, Purchasing and IT, while Gloystein (on the right) is responsible for the operational units, notably warehouse and transport logistics as well as trade logistics. As members of the management board, Jens Hilsen, Jürgen Oltmanns and Michael Weber, all authorised signatories, are involved in the management of the company.
