Hellmann Worldwide Logistics today announced the opening of its new fully-owned subsidiary in Colombia. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The launch represents a strategic milestone in the company\u2019s network expansion across the Americas and underscores its commitment to sustainable, long-term growth.<\/p>\n

Hellmann has been active in Colombia for almost 30 years through local partner companies, establishing a strong market presence, in-depth local expertise, and a reliable network. Earlier this year Hellmann acquired its perishables partner HPL Apollo, including the HPL entity in Colombia. Following this acquisition, the company has further strengthened its footprint in the country by formally establishing its own subsidiary specializing in end-to-end logistics for general cargo and other verticals including airfreight, seafreight, customs brokerage, and contract logistics supported by an experienced team of supply chain professionals. Customers and partners can leverage Colombia as a new strategic hub for both inbound and outbound flows, enhancing connectivity to North and South American markets as well as global trade lanes supported by the extensive Hellmann network. <\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the takeover of HPL Apollo in the United States and the inclusion of its Colombian operations, establishing a fully integrated own country organization in Colombia marks another milestone in our global expansion strategy. The Americas is a key market for us, and this development strengthens our presence and enhances our ability to serve customers across this strategically important region,\u201d says Jens Drewes, CEO Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter seven successful years of collaboration with our local partner ABC Cargo Logistics S.A.S., we are proud to take the next step by establishing our own Hellmann operations in Colombia,\u201d said Peter Huwel, Regional Chief Executive Officer, Americas. \u201cThis launch strengthens our ability to deliver the high-quality, integrated logistics solutions our customers expect from Hellmann, while positioning us to drive continued growth across the region.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Colombian opening further consolidates Hellmann\u2019s presence in Latin America and aligns with the company\u2019s ambition to connect the Americas\u2019 markets, people, and opportunities with efficiency, innovation, and commitment. <\/p>\n
