Hamburg rejoices
Hoyer celebrates its 75th anniversary
Walter Hoyer (pictured) laid the foundations for the Hamburg-based company's success story in 1946 and built the family business into an internationally oriented specialist freight forwarder. 75 years after its foundation, the Hoyer Group is one of the leading providers of global logistics solutions in the liquid bulk sector.
"75 years ago, we were still driving milk around the church tower. Today, our tank containers travel around the world. In all these years, from reconstruction to the coronavirus pandemic, we have shown strength and overcome many challenges," summarizes Thomas Hoyer, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Hoyer Group.
Innovative thinking and sustainable action are firmly anchored company goals. The increased switch to intermodal transport, the avoidance of empty runs, the use of lighter tank containers, Euro 6-compliant vehicle drives and smart technology-supported fleet optimization as well as sustainable and profitable growth are the current focal points. "If you stand still, you don't move anything," says Thomas Hoyer. "In our anniversary year, we are also looking ahead. Our new Chief Executive Officer Björn Schniederkötter is working intensively with the workforce to put Hoyer in the best possible position for the future."
"We have a clear path ahead of us and will implement it together in a sustainable and value-oriented manner in the spirit of the international family business: as a strong global community!" says Björn Schniederkötter, Chief Executive Officer of the Hoyer Group.
On the occasion of the company's 75th anniversary, the entire Hoyer family and the management team look back with gratitude and pride on the years since the company was founded. The company owes its success and its current position as a global leader in liquid bulk logistics solutions to all its employees around the world.
"Our employees deserve special thanks in our anniversary year. For their many years of loyalty, their daily commitment, their expertise and for the fact that we can always count on them when it matters," Schniederkötter emphasizes. This perfectly reflects the special spirit of the family business.
