After 34 years with the company and more than 15 years as managing partner of Jacob Jürgensen Wood GmbH, Rolf von Loßberg (right on picture) will be leaving our company at the end of 2025. He will hand over operational management to Martin Hopp (left on picture). He will be supported by Stefan Prodöhl, one of the long-standing managing directors of sister company Jacob Jürgensen Papier und Zellstoff and partner in JJ Holding.
Martin Hopp joined the company in August 2024 and has taken over an experienced and well-coordinated team with a strong market position in Europe at the wood importer, which is known far beyond Germany’s borders. We are delighted to have found a successor in Martin Hopp, who, with his focus on sales and marketing, will successfully continue the history of this traditional import company.
We would like to thank Rolf von Loßberg for his outstanding work and his formative contribution to the development of our timber business over three decades. We would particularly like to highlight his role in successfully strengthening proprietary trading, his excellent networking within the industry, and his special expertise in North American and Eastern European timber purchasing. He also provided important impetus within the JJ Group’s management team. We will greatly miss his thoughtful consideration of the interests of the entire company group.
We wish Rolf von Loßberg all the best for the future, above all good health and happiness.
