Hellmann grows footprint in Eastern Europe
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics is taking over PKZ Group, its long-standing air- and sea freight partner in Slovakia and Czechia and simultaneously establishing its own national company in Slovakia.
With the acquisition of PKZ Group and its ten locations, Hellmann closes a gap in its existing road network in the partial and full load segment, enabling sustainable growth in this part of its business, the company said.
Hellmann is also taking over the services previously performed by the PKZ Group in the air- and sea freight, rail transport and contract logistics portfolio, thus creating the conditions for continuously expanding its cross-product market share via its own national company.
From June 2023, the existing business activities and the workforce of the PKZ Group will be transferred to the newly established Hellmann Worldwide Logistics Slovakia. The new national company will be headed by the current managing director of PKZ Group, Martin Kiaba. (ben)
