Hupac Group has confirmed that its CEO, Michail Stahlhut, will leave the company in May 2026 at his own request, ending an eight-year term at the head of the intermodal operator. The Board of Directors said the search for a successor is already under way and will be announced at a later date.
Stahlhut led the company through a period marked by major disruptions in the logistics and combined transport sector, including the Covid-19 pandemic, energy supply shortages, large-scale rail network closures and geopolitical instability. During this period, Hupac maintained operational continuity and financial stability, according to the company.
Hans-Jörg Bertschi, Chairman of Hupac’s Board of Directors, said the company strengthened its position in European combined transport under Stahlhut’s leadership through strategic initiatives and long-term positioning. Stahlhut said his focus had been on building a management structure capable of handling crises with a high level of operational responsibility.
Hupac has not yet named a successor and said the Board will communicate further once the selection process is completed.
