Nadine Despineux and Florian Heydenreich are two new faces joining the board of the German Association of Materials Handling and Intralogistics Manufacturers. Despineux comes from Jungheinrich, and Heydenreich from the forklift manufacturer Still.
The two will, alongside Ken Dufford (Crown), jointly lead the material handling equipment segment of the industry association. Nadine Despineux has been Chief Sales Officer at Jungheinrich for some time. She succeeded Christian Erlach in this position in mid-July 2024, who retired due to age. Before her appointment to the Jungheinrich board, she was CEO for the Marine & Industrial, Plain Bearings, Digitalization, and IT business units at the Renk Group in Augsburg. Prior to that, she spent more than four years as Managing Director of KraussMaffei Technologies in Munich, where she was responsible for the global service business, the development of new business areas, and digitalization.
