Röhlig Logistics announces leadership transition in North Asia: Christoph Passek appointed Regional CEO

General

Röhlig Logistics has appointed Christoph Passek as Regional CEO North Asia, effective 1 January 2026. In this role, he assumes responsibility for the company’s business activities in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. He succeeds Albert Ho, who retired from the company at the end of 2025. This succession marks an important milestone in Röhlig’s strategic development in Asia and ensures continuity in one of the company’s key growth regions.

Christoph Passek joined Röhlig China in 2020 as General Manager Commercial and was appointed Managing Director for China and Hong Kong in January 2024. With more than 20 years of experience in international logistics and management, he has played a significant role in further strengthening Röhlig’s market position in Greater China. 
“We are very pleased to announce the appointment of Christoph Passek as our new Regional CEO North Asia,” said Dr Robert Gutsche, CFO and member of the Global Executive Board at Röhlig Logistics. “Under his leadership, Röhlig has achieved strong growth in China and Hong Kong. His strategic vision, customer-focused approach and deep regional expertise make him the ideal successor to lead the continued development of our North Asia region.”

In his new position, Christoph Passek will continue to drive Röhlig’s focus on digital transformation, customer-centric growth and closer collaboration across the North Asian markets. The aim is to strengthen connections between processes, teams and digital services across borders, providing customers throughout the region with even more consistent and efficient solutions.

At the same time, Röhlig acknowledges the contribution of Albert Ho, who has shaped the region for many years. “On behalf of my colleagues on the Global Executive Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Albert Ho for his outstanding achievements and long-standing commitment, which have made a significant contribution to Röhlig’s growth and success in the region. Albert Ho played a decisive role in building Röhlig’s independent network in North China following the restructuring in 2017 and has successfully led the North Asia region since 2020 with great dedication,” added Dr. Gutsche.

Röhlig Logistics continues to pursue its strategy of expanding its presence and customer partnerships across North Asia – by combining global expertise with local agility. The transition from Albert Ho to Christoph Passek ensures a smooth handover and continuity for customers and partners throughout the region.
