Hapag-Lloyd sets up new region South Europe


Hapag-Lloyd has officially opened its headquarters for the new region South Europe. CEO Rolf Habben Jansen presented the keys of the office complex in Genoa (Italy) to the new senior managing director Juan Pablo Richards.

 

During the opening ceremony, Habben Jansen explained the motivation to create a new region: “After our merger with UASC in 2017 the Mediterranean region has gained more importance for us. That's why we are eager to bolster our competitive position in this attractive and growing market and exploit further opportunities.”

 

The new region was created by splitting the former region Europe into northern and southern parts. It will include Area Italy, Area Iberia (Spain and Portugal), Area Turkey, Area Egypt and Area Med agents, which covers the 19 countries in the region where Hapag-Lloyd is represented by 15 third-party agents. Genoa has been home to Hapag-Lloyd offices since 1997, and the company now has over 300 employees there. (mw)
