The company operates in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Germany, and last year recorded turnover of more than Koruna 1bn ($US 44.2m).
“Leo Express is a company with great potential, which with its success so far proves that it can break through in regional and international services,” Spilka says. “My task will be to further help in this effort. I will focus mainly on increasing the profitability of Leo Express, which last year posted a turnover of over Koruna 1bn and an increase in consolidated profit.”
Spilka has previously held managerial roles at companies including Škoda Transportation, O2 and regional energy supplier Jablonecká energetická.
Köhler will be in charge of strategic planning and business development, and his role will also include the provision of strategic partnerships and the preparation of acquisitions of vehicles for long-distance and contractual transport.
Last year, Mr Leoš Novotný Sr was appointed chairman of Leo Express’ board of directors. The supervisory board is now led by Dr Stanislav Knotek.
