The internationally active Hegelmann Group has now taken delivery of its 3,333rd trailer from Krone. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board Bernard Krone, Managing Director Dr. Frank Albers and the responsible Regional Sales Manager Klaus Foser welcomed the shareholders of the Hegelmann Group Siegfried and Anton Hegelmann in Spelle, who, accompanied by CFO Tomas Jurgelevicius, took delivery of the anniversary vehicle. For this special occasion, the latest generation Cool Liner was given special lettering to underline the many years of good partnership.

The current fleet expansion of the rapidly growing Hegelmann Group includes 300 Profi Liners, 200 Cool Liners and 25 container chassis of the latest Box Liner generation. In addition to these vehicle types, Hegelmann also uses swap bodies and central axle trailers from Krone. The first order in this long-standing business relationship dates back to 2003.

Founded in 1998, the Hegelmann Group deals with transportation of all kinds and serves customers throughout Europe and as far afield as China with its 26 branches. The company employs over 7,000 people, has a fleet of more than 4,000 trucks and generates an annual turnover of around 700 million euros. In addition to the transport business, the Hegelmann Group also operates its own service company with several locations in Europe, which works very closely with the Krone spare parts service: HT Trucks & Parts GmbH.
