Christine Weckesser took over the management of ELVIS Dienstleistungs GmbH on July 1, 2026. The subsidiary of ELVIS AG is responsible for central purchasing and consulting and provides central services for the partner companies of the network. With Weckesser at the helm, ELVIS AG aims to further expand its service portfolio and strengthen the strategic development of the corporate group.
Nikolja Grabowski, board member of ELVIS AG, emphasizes that Weckesser has been significantly involved in the development of the organization for many years. Her extensive experience and understanding of the values of cooperation make her the right fit for this position. Grabowski also highlights Weckesser’s strategic thinking and commercial competence, which are crucial for the new role.
Weckesser, who has been with ELVIS AG since 2007, has previously held various positions within the company, including in pool trailer management and corporate relations management. Most recently, she led central purchasing and remains a procurator of ELVIS AG, where she continues to be responsible for the projects area.
In her new role, Weckesser will take over the commercial and technical management of the central purchasing and consulting areas. This also includes personnel responsibility for the employees as well as the continuous development of the service portfolio.

This restructuring has significantly expanded the responsibilities of ELVIS Dienstleistungs GmbH. Grabowski highlights that Weckesser’s appointment is an important step in the long-term succession planning to strengthen the future viability of the network and better align services with the needs of partner companies.
