Hellmann: a seamless transition
Patrick Löwenthal took over the position of chief operating officer CEP Europe at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics on 1 April 2024. He succeeds Wilfried Hesselmann, who has led the courier and express business since 2016 and is now retiring after 50 years with the company.
In his role as COO, Hesselmann drove the company’s expansion in the Eastern European market, including the recent acquisitions of Innight in Hungary and Romania, and Optimnet in Czechia and Slovakia.
Löwenthal has worked as managing director of Night Star Express Hellmann in the Netherlands and Belgium since 2013. His profound knowledge of the company’s processes, partners, and teams will ensure a seamless takeover of the European CEP business, Hellmann said in a press release. (cj)
