TOLL Group has announced the appointment of Robert Reiter as group managing director, effective 1 July.
He is to assume the role in addition to his current position as president of Global Forwarding in what the company said was aimed at ensuring continuity of leadership.
As group MD, he is to be responsible for setting the strategic direction and driving overall performance, ensuring alignment across all businesses to deliver “sustainable growth and long-term value creation”.
“Working closely with the board and executive leadership team, [Robert Reiter] will focus on strengthening performance, enhancing competitiveness, and positioning the group to capture emerging opportunities,” a Toll Group statement read.
Robert joined Toll Global Forwarding in August 2025 and currently serves as president.
In this role, he has earned praise for “strengthening customer relationships, improving regional operations and leading transformation initiatives across the business”.
He is said to bring extensive global freight forwarding experience, with leadership roles at organisations including Kuehne & Nagel, Panalpina, DB Schenker and DHL, alongside deep expertise across end-to-end supply chains, including contract logistics.
Toll Group chair Thomas Knudsen said, “Robert is a proven leader with deep knowledge of our business, customers and operations”.
“His appointment as group managing director reflects our strong confidence in his leadership and his ability to drive the group’s continued growth, performance and transformation,” Mr Knudsen said.
“We are pleased to have him lead Toll through its next phase.”
Mr Reiter said he was “honoured to be appointed group managing director at such an important time for Toll”.
“We have strong capabilities, dedicated people and significant opportunities ahead,” he said.
“I look forward to working closely with our teams, customers and partners to build on our momentum and continue delivering strong outcomes for our customers and stakeholders.”
A transition plan is in place to ensure continuity for customers, employees and partners as Robert assumes his new role.
