A few days after his 65th birthday at the end of September Rolf Dieter Riedl stepped down from all his responsibilities in the Riedl group. He founded the medium-sized heavylift and project cargo forwarder based in Hagen (Germany) 17 years ago, and had continually expanded it since then. Joachim Patzner and Riedl's daughter Iris Katrin Riedl, who has been part of the senior executive since the beginning of the year, will lead the company in the future.
