13.02.2026

As of January 1, Heinz Ennen is Head of New Business at Kardex Mlog, succeeding Winnie Ahrens, who has assumed overall leadership of the intralogistics specialist.

Heinz Ennen has more than 30 years of experience in intralogistics. The graduate engineer, specializing in electronic engineering, joins Kardex from Swisslog, where, in his most recent role as Vice President Global Key Account Management, he was responsible for the strategic development and support of global top customers. During his extensive career, Mr. Ennen gained experience with other major companies in the industry. At Kardex Mlog, the father of four will focus on the continued expansion of the project business in the Greenfield Installations and Refurbishment sectors. His role will include raising Kardex’s competency in light goods and miniload conveying technology and robotics to the same level as the established expertise in the pallet warehouse and conveying technology sector.

»I look forward to collaborating with the various areas of expertise, and I also relish the opportunity to work together with a highly motivated team to provide new momentum. My first few weeks have shown me how strongly the culture of trust, collaboration, and mutual respect is anchored here at Kardex,« he says.

He made the move to Kardex as he feels it is »a company with a strong culture, clear values, and impressive customer focus.« The long-term partnerships that Kardex has built up with renowned companies reflect a high level of trust, reliability, and technological competence. »What particularly appealed to me was the overall responsibility for sales and implementation, as these are the keys to ensuring sustainable project success,« Mr. Ennen believes.

The role as Head of New Business offers him the opportunity to shape a wide range of topics from strategic alignment of the project business for new and existing customers, through the management and development of a cross-functional team, to active market development.
