WP Spedition acquires parts of the Hänsel und Gretel logistics company

The Zwickau logistics service provider WP Holding has taken over parts of the Hänsel und Gretel GmbH from Reichenbach in the Vogtland region, effective October 1, 2022. A total of 15 employees have now found a new professional home at WP Spedition.

(Zwickau/Reichenbach) The reason for the transition was the short-term withdrawal of the long-time owner of Hänsel und Gretel, Frank Goy, for health reasons. Given the circumstances, all parties were keen on a quick and amicable solution. This has now been found, to the satisfaction of all involved. “It was very important to me to achieve a good solution for my employees. I am grateful to WP for finding a perspective for my employees, and I can now enjoy my retirement,” explains Frank Goy.

For customers, everything remains the same

For the customers of Hänsel und Gretel, nothing changes; an agreement has been reached with the largest customer in advance to continue the business under WP. “WP Spedition is always looking for qualified personnel, so the addition of 15 new colleagues is very welcome,” emphasizes Doreen Paesold-Runge, managing director of WP Holding. “We are proud that we were able to provide quick and uncomplicated assistance in this extraordinary situation, so that no further jobs are lost in West Saxony!”
