Crown Worldwide Group, the world’s largest privately-held group of international logistics and related services companies, has expanded the role of Regional Managing Director of Australasia, Mark Ellis, to include the oversight of operations in Japan and Korea.

Alongside the appointment of Dennis Muldowney to General Manager, Japan, this strategic role expansion is critical to further strengthening the company's market position in the Asia-Pacific region.

Mark began his career with Crown in 1982 and has been an invaluable asset to operations in Australia and New Zealand. His successful management of branches in Wellington, Auckland and Sydney led to his promotion to Managing Director of Australia and New Zealand in 2003. “Expanding my region of responsibility to include Japan and Korea is a further exciting chapter in my career with the Crown Worldwide Group, which I am very much looking forward to,” said Mark. “Both of these countries have a rich and unique heritage and so very different to where I have spent my life to date so it is with much anticipation and enthusiasm that I take on this expanded regional responsibility.”

Dennis Muldowney has become General Manager for Japan.  He previously managed Crown operations in Asia.  "I am very enthusiastic about this opportunity to lead our Crown Japan team," said Dennis. “Japan is where Crown was founded nearly 50 years ago, so it will be a fantastic experience taking the helm at this milestone in our company's history. Japan is a fascinating country, rich in culture and showing signs of renewed life in their economy. I'm confident that Crown Japan is ready to capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.”
