ATS-Hellmann taken over
Hellmann expands in Switzerland
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and its long-standing partner company ATS-Hellmann Worldwide Logistics AG have decided to transfer their air and sea freight activities in Switzerland to Hellmann: With the establishment of a separate Swiss national company, Hellmann will fully take over the international air and sea freight services previously provided by ATS-Hellmann at the beginning of 2023.
ATS-Hellmann has been the operating unit for air and sea freight transportation in Switzerland since 1991 and is integrated as an independent partner in the global Hellmann network. As of January 1, 2023, the previous business activities and the employee base - still under the leadership of Managing Director Kathrin Kuske - will be transferred to the newly founded Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, Switzerland. In addition, Manfred Schellhammer, a proven expert, has been recruited as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Swiss national company. Hellmann will remain in partnership with the ATS Group and will continue to use its services, including air freight handling, in the future. Both companies see this step as a consistent continuation of the long-standing partnership with different focus activities in the future.
"The establishment of the Swiss subsidiary is a further milestone in the strategic development of the Hellmann network in Europe, and we look forward to expanding our activities here under our own management from next year. Through targeted investments in our local service portfolio and in conjunction with our global network, we want to strengthen Hellmann's market presence in Switzerland in the long term. Our customers who have worked with ATS-Hellmann to date will have even more direct access to our global services by bundling their activities in our own network," says Jens Tarnowski, Regional CEO West Europe, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
