Following its merger with the REWE Group, Lekkerland has restructured its top-level management line-up in order to harness its combined expertise and enhance its customer focus
From now on, Jürgen Stolz will head up the new Business Transformation division
Philipp Pauly will oversee the collaborative partnerships with all petrol station customers, and Stefan Punke will manage the National Sales and Organized Foodservice divisions
Last January, Lekkerland and the REWE Group joined forces and embarked on a collaborative way forward. They have been progressively combining the REWE Group’s knowledge of goods and category management with Lekkerland’s logistical performance capability and convenience sector expertise ever since. In a further development, Lekkerland restructured its organisation at the start of the year in order to harness its combined expertise and enhance the benefits for customers.
In practical terms, this has seen Lekkerland establish the new strategic Business Transformation division, which will oversee corporate strategy development and manage customer services and solutions. This division will be headed up by Jürgen Stolz in his new role as Senior Vice President for Business Transformation. In his previous role, Stolz managed Lekkerland’s partnerships with international oil companies and customers in the food-service industry.
Lekkerland is also bringing together its entire petrol station business in a single division, to be managed by Philipp Pauly in his new role as Senior Vice President for Energy Stations & Convenience Stores and in addition to his existing responsibilities.
Stefan Punke will continue to be responsible for customers in the National Sales division. As before, this will incorporate the Kiosk & C-Stores and independent retail segments. On 1 February 2021, his remit will expand to encompass food-service industry customers when he takes on the new role of Senior Vice President for National Sales & Organized Foodservice.
Alongside the combined strengths of Lekkerland and the REWE Group, our new structure ideally positions us to create and develop outstanding solutions and products for our customers, ensuring they can further enhance their own competitiveness,
says Patrick Steppe, CEO of Lekkerland SE.
