Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Grube appointed new Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Vossloh AG

At today's meeting, the Supervisory Board of Vossloh AG elected Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Grube as its new Chairman following his appointment to the Supervisory Board by the court. He succeeds previous Supervisory Board Chairman Mr. Ulrich M. Harnacke, who returns to his role as Chairman of the Audit Committee effective today.

“A well-performing and efficient infrastructure is a key foundation of every modern society and indispensable for their economic success. Megatrends like population growth, urbanization and globalization require rapid, safe and sustainable transportation for more and more people and for a constantly increasing volume of goods. In this context, the railway is enormously important as a particularly environmentally friendly means of transport, and Vossloh makes a crucial contribution here as one of the world’s leading suppliers of products and services related to rail infrastructure”, explains Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Grube. “Against this backdrop, I very much look forward to advancing the company's development and guiding it towards a successful future together with my colleagues on the Supervisory Board and side-by-side with the Executive Board of Vossloh AG.”

Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Grube is known worldwide as a leading manager in the mobility and logistics sector. For over 30 years, he has held top management positions in various areas of mobility, logistics and infrastructure. His roles have included member of the Executive Board of Daimler AG, President of the Board of Directors at EADS (now Airbus Group SE) and, from 2009 to 2017, Chairman of the Executive Board at Deutsche Bahn AG. He currently holds posts including Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG and of Bombardier Transportation Deutschland GmbH.
