Lineage Logistics has hired Harld Peters to serve as its senior vice president in Europe. He will oversee all European operations for the Novi, Michigan, USA-headquartered company and will report to Mike McClendon, Lineage’s president of international operations and executive vice president of network optimization.
Peters brings extensive experience leading technology-driven transformation and accelerated growth, most recently serving as president of Northern Europe for ManpowerGroup, a global workforce solutions company. He also spent more than two decades at UPS holding key leadership positions across Europe and Asia. Most recently Peters was president of UPS China and previously served as president for West Europe.
“We are thrilled to welcome Harld to the One Lineage Europe family, and I am confident he is the right leader for this critical position,” said McClendon. “Harld has an impressive background in deploying intelligent growth strategies in Europe, which is particularly important for Lineage as we continue to expand regionally and with customers across our dynamic European facility footprint. I look forward to seeing the incredible impact he is going to make on our European operations and on the company as a whole.”
Peters’ appointment is a part of Lineage’s larger structure enhancement strategy for Europe, focused on evolving the organization to better meet the needs of regional customers.
“I’m excited to join the world’s leading cold storage logistics solutions provider, particularly at such a transformative time for the company and its European operations,” said Peters. “I look forward to working with this talented team to build Lineage’s brand presence in the region and provide the industry’s best, most comprehensive customer experience.”
Peters’ appointment comes on the heels of the company’s recent announcements of its intent to acquire Kloosterboer Group and the cold storage division of Claus Sørenson, two temperature-controlled logistics providers in Europe.
