Mar 12, 2021 at 6:17 PMFor 25 years, Dachser and the northern Hesse logistics company Heidelmann have been cooperating in the field of food logistics. The partnership at the European level has now been extended for the long term. Both companies are part of the European Food Network. Heidelmann is also investing in a new logistics facility at its headquarters in Schwalmstadt.
(Kempten/Schwalmstadt) Heidelmann, based in Schwalmstadt, southwest of Kassel, is the longest-standing partner of Dachser Food Logistics. Since 1995, the company has been responsible for temperature-controlled deliveries in the northern part of Hesse within the Dachser network and serves distribution and warehouse customers in this area. In December 2020, Dachser and Heidelmann extended their cooperation agreement for the long term.
“Our companies look back on a successful partnership characterized by continuity, mutual trust, and a constructive, trusting, and even friendly collaboration,” praised Alfred Miller, Managing Director of Dachser Food Logistics, the previous cooperation. “We look forward to the next years together, which – I am sure – will be equally fruitful for both sides.”
Joint Growth
Like Dachser, Heidelmann is a founding member of the European Food Network, a consortium of leading European food logistics companies. Through the temperature-controlled transport network, the customers of both family businesses can distribute their food as consolidated freight frequently, quickly, and with fixed delivery times to 34 countries in Europe.
Currently, Heidelmann is building a new logistics facility at its headquarters in Schwalmstadt, which will go into operation in June of this year. “The new building is also an investment in further joint growth,” said Ute Bischoff, Managing Partner at Heidelmann. “The partnership with Dachser and the active participation in the European Food Network have always brought us and our customers a significant increase in opportunities. The close relationship and exchange with Dachser have become part of our corporate culture over the last 25 years.”
