A.Manship
After seven years at the helm of intralogistics provider Vanderlande, which has been part of TICO (Toyota Industries) since 2017, Remo Brunschwiler is stepping down from the front row. He makes way for Andrew Manship, who has combined the airport and parcel businesses .
Manship, who has been with the company since 2016, is considered battle-tested in fiercely competitive markets. A deep understanding of Vanderlande's corporate strategy, business activities, and global markets is crucial. Furthermore, he has extensive experience in the automated material handling industry and a proud track record of success in generating added value for customers. Brunschwiler will end his role on the Executive Board on December 31, 2023, and will transition to a non-executive management position. His contributions to organizational development and sustainable platform-based solutions are undisputed.

We will continue to benefit from his visionary industry knowledge and unwavering customer focus."
