Logistics company CH Robinson Worldwide has announced the appointment of Ivo Aris as director of global forwarding for CH Robinson Europe.
Aris’s primary focus will reportedly be to lead the continental growth and advancement of the global forwarding division, including implementing the global forwarding strategy for Europe.
Aris has held responsibilities in sales, operations and management at Road Air, which was acquired by the Rhenus Group in 2007. He became country manager for air and ocean freight for the Netherlands, was member of the global air and ocean management team and had significant responsibility over several of the portfolio companies of the Rhenus Group. In addition, Aris is chairman of the Dutch Airfreight Forwarders’ Association.
“We feel that Ivo has the right management experience, business acumen and communication skills to lead us forward and grow our European global forwarding operations,” said Stephane Rambaud, senior vice president global forwarding. “The overall strength of our global forwarding capabilities worldwide continues to provide high service and value to our customers.”
CH Robinson established an initial presence in Europe 20 years ago through partial ownership of Transeco, a motor carrier in France, since which time it has built a network of 51 offices throughout Europe.
Since July 2012, CH Robinson has named Bryan Foe as president of its European operations, acquired Apreo Logistics and opened offices in Rotterdam and Istanbul.
