New Leadership at Greif-Velox

There is a change at the helm of the packaging machinery manufacturer, Greif-Velox, based in Lübeck, Germany. Effective February 1, 2024, Sebastian Pohl, the former Director of Sales & Marketing, joins the management team alongside Thorsten Köll.
”We are excited to unite as a team, placing an even stronger emphasis on meeting the market demands and catering to our customers,” state the two Managing Directors. ”Confidently building on the successes of past years, we will propel the company forward with strategic thinking, dedication to excellence, and a commitment to innovation.”
With its recent international expansion, Greif-Velox has strengthened its position in the liquid and powder filling sector. Particularly in the ultra-light powder bagging sector, such as Carbon Black, the vacuum system ’VeloVac’ has solidified its position as the world leader. “Our goal is to persuade even more customers of the substantial advantages of our technology in terms of efficiency and sustainability,” adds the new management team.

Consistent Internationalization and Growth Strategy

Thorsten Köll has been a part of Greif-Velox’s management since 2019, having previously managed operations at Gabler Maschinenbau GmbH. Sebastian Pohl was appointed as the Sales Director in 2020, transitioning from the Dutch lifting and transport specialist, Mammoet, to Greif-Velox. He has consistently driven the company‘s internationalization and growth strategy over the past four years.

Transformation into an Industry Trendsetter

”We express our gratitude to Ralf Drews for his significant contributions over the past years,” acknowledges Sebastian Pohl. ”Through his actions, he has enabled Greif-Velox to maintain its independence and transform into an industry trendsetter.”

Company information

Greif-Velox Maschinenfabrik GmbH
GREIF-VELOX is one of the most tradition-rich companies in the field of industrial bagging, filling and palletising technology. Its roots date back to the year 1100, when monks founded the Greifenmühle mill in Klützow, Pomerania – an origin from which centuries of practical expertise in handling bulk materials and efficient packaging processes have developed. Building on this experience, Ernst Mahlkuch, whose family had owned the Greifenmühle since 1734, founded GREIF-WERKE in 1938. Since then, the company has been developing and implementing high-performance bagging machines and filling systems for industrial applications. After 1945, GREIF-VELOX emerged from this foundation in Lübeck, Germany – today with more than 150 experts and a clear focus on innovative, efficient and reliable packaging solutions. GREIF-VELOX stands for customised system concepts that are precisely tailored to the product, process and production environment. These individual solutions not only increase production quality and system performance, but also create measurable competitive advantages. On request, GREIF-VELOX supplies complete full-line systems from a single source, including bagging, filling, conveying technology, robotic palletising and load securing. In addition to its customised Custom Line solutions, GREIF-VELOX offers the Essential Line: standardised, field-proven machine concepts for typical applications in bulk solids and liquid filling. The Essential Line reduces engineering effort, shortens delivery times and provides an economical entry point into proven GREIF-VELOX technology – without compromising on quality, reliability or industrial practicality.
