The UIRR Board carries on the association’s leadership with new rotation principle
Brussels, 19 December 2025 — Michail Stahlhut passes the baton to Jürgen Albersmann
At its October meeting, the UIRR Board of Directors decided to implement the rotation principle for the Chairmanship of the industry association from 1 January 2026. After one and half years at the helm of the association, Michail Stahlhut, CEO of the Hupac Group, hands over the Chairmanship to Jürgen Albersmann, current Vice-Chairman and CEO of Contargo. Peter Kiss, CEO of Metrans, has been elected as the new Vice-Chairman. Of course, Michail Stahlhut remains active in the BoD.
During his mandate, Michail Stahlhut made a significant contribution - together with his colleagues of the UIRR Board - by strengthening the framework conditions needed for the growth of Combined Transport. He helped to achieve a new impetus and to consolidate UIRR’s strategy. The objective is to shift more freight to the most competitive, efficient and climate-friendly mode of transport, which is the combination of all modes of transport. Advancing standardisation, digitalisation and supportive legislation remains essential to achieving the ambitions of the intermodal community.
