The transport and logistics company Hansa Meyer Global, headquartered in Bremen, has expanded its international network to 23 branches in a challenging market environment and established two new business areas. In conjunction with the acquisition of three major projects in Europe, the USA and Central Asia, the project logistics group forecasts annual sales of EUR 165 million for the group, an increase of more than 15 per cent compared to 2018.
The core business of Hansa Meyer Global has been the organization and implementation of worldwide transport of investment goods in the plant and energy sector for 33 years. The focus of each individual project is the realization of an individual transport and logistics concept across all modes of transport – from planning through implementation to follow-ups. The personal support in connection with high expertise and the regional network complete the quality standards.
“Our customers know and value us as the transport architects, who handle their orders reliably and innovatively. We want to meet this standard worldwide,” says Marc-Oliver Hauswald, Managing Director of Hansa Meyer Global Holding GmbH.
Strategically, the company relies on local presence and also opens up new markets through its own local branches. For example, offices were opened in Turkey and the Netherlands this year. A sales offensive focused on the supra-regional development of project logistics and NCL (non-containerized load) for the BeNeLux and Middle East regions.
Also this year, Hansa Meyer Global founded a joint venture under the name Hansa Meyer Global Indonesia in Jakarta, Indonesia, together with its long-time partner PT. Sarana Penida, to intensify its activities in the Asian region. The company now has nine sites in Asia.
Henrique Wohltmann, Managing Director responsible for the overall Asian project logistics market of Hansa Meyer Global Holding GmbH explains: “We see great growth potential here and are planning to set up another company in Central Asia at the beginning of next year.” The logistics service provider is one of the founding members of the Bundesverband Deutsche Seidenstraßen Initiative e.V. which is committed to participation in China’s Silk Road and the Belt and Road Initiative.
The NCL business has been part of Hansa Meyer Global’s portfolio for a year now. “The decision to expand our range of services proved to be correct. NCL has been successfully integrated and already has a considerable growth curve. With the addition of “Managed Services”, where we operate as a factory logistics provider, we have now positioned ourselves on three strategic pillars. We see ourselves as being in a stable position for the future,” explain the two directors of the Hansa Meyer Global Holding the new direction.
A look at the development in the USA underlines the international growth course. Hansa Meyer Global Transport has established itself in Houston and invested in its own heavy-load equipment several years ago. Investments that pay off today, as the company has since established itself as a reliable partner in the US aerospace industry and is now one of the narrow range of registered heavy-duty logistics companies of the US Civil Aviation and Science – NASA.
In addition to the expansion of the product portfolio and locations, Hansa Meyer Global is also reviewing digital development and advancing the planning for a smart database. With an end-to-end approach, the goal is to increase the efficiency of the supply chain with optimized data logistics. Transparency and accelerated decision-making processes are the benefits for everyone concerned.
The information platform is initially aimed exclusively at regular customers and was initiated as a development project. By 2022, the platform is to be launched on the market.
