NOL appoints Dick Metzler head of APL Logistics

NOL Group has appointed Dick Metzler as the new head of APL Logistics.

Dick Metzler has been appointed head of NOL Group's APL Logistics arm, which the company hopes will rival the shipping business as a breadwinner in coming years. Metzler, who will be  based in California, most recently worked for Hanover Direct subsidiary Keystone Internet Services, a direct marketing firm he launched last year.

Before Keystone, Metzler worked for Fedex, TNT Post and General Electric.

NOL Group President Flemming Jacobs says: "With [Metzler] on board, we are going to see just how far, how fast, the linkage between e-commerce and logistics can take us. In addition, he will build on our current strengths and activities which already show impressive growth."
