x|vise strengthens team

The x|vise logistics consulting firm headquartered in Vorarlberg boosts its staff and expands its customer service.

Since February, the x|vise team has seen the addition of internationally-experienced Transport Manager Theresia Reff as well as Graz Logistics Manager Patrick Umgeher. In mid-May, Elisabeth Dorner will take over marketing agenda duties as Team Assistant, ensuring smooth background operations.

A vigorously growing demand for hands-on logistics consultation and the planned expansion of services in Southern Germany and Austria are among the reasons behind increasing the x|vise team personnel.

Theresia Reff joined the x|vise team in March, bringing with her more than 20 years of professional experience in logistics – 19 years in England and 9 years with UPS as Product Manager for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Her future duties also include responsibility for the Southern German market. The Graz location recently brought Patrick Umgeher on board, former logistics manager for a large Austrian grocery chain. As a graduate of the Johanneum University of Applied Sciences in Kapfenberg, he also brings IT and project management experience from a leading international logistics software provider to his duties at the Graz x|vise location. Elisabeth Dorner was most recently involved in event marketing for Lech Tourism. She will oversee future trade fair participations and marketing activities as of May.

x|vise, a subsidiary of the Gebrüder Weiss organisation led by Bregenz-born Managing Director Harry Stiastny, now employs a total of 13 people at its Lauterach, Vienna, Graz and Dubai branch locations.
