Hellmann Worldwide Logistics expands in Austria
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics opened its first Austrian Direct Load branch in Kufstein in February. The globally active logistics service provider has already been successfully represented on the Austrian market for 15 years with five branches, whereby the focus to date has been on the air and sea freight product areas. In future, partial and full truck loads will also be dispatched from Kufstein throughout Europe and Austria. Kufstein will thus become part of the existing Direct Load network, which is already represented in eight European countries with more than 40 locations.
As part of its global growth strategy, Hellmann has already invested significantly in the Direct Load network in recent years - for example in France, the Netherlands, the Benelux countries, the Czech Republic and Poland. Due to Austria's central location, the expansion of the network in the Alpine country is of strategic importance. With the opening of the branch in Kufstein, which is a hub for overland transportation in Austria due to its favourable geographical location, the logistics specialist is opening up another important market in the heart of Europe. At the same time, Hellmann is creating an additional gateway to south-eastern Europe and Italy, which will also significantly strengthen the existing connections to and from eastern Europe.
"The branch in Kufstein is of strategic importance to us in two respects: firstly, by opening up this inner-European hub, we are strengthening our road network and, in particular, our connections between northern and southern Europe. At the same time, by expanding our product portfolio to include direct load services, we are also further expanding Hellmann's competitive position in Austria - a market in which we want to continue to grow sustainably in the future," says Jens Wollesen, Chief Operating Officer, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
