ECCK will continue to work closely and collaborate with Korean authorities to create a better business environment for our members," Lukat said in the statement.
The new chairman began his career at Schenker & Co. GmbH in Frankfurt in 1986 and worked as general manager of Schenker-Seino Co. in Japan.
