ANDREAS NOWAK has been appointed forwarding executive for Safcor Panalpina, and the global Panalpina representative within the
company. He replaces Patrick Lacroix who will
relocate to Panalpina's regional head office in Hong Kong as vice

Nowak will primarily be responsible for the service and sales of global accounts in South Africa.
