Hecksher Denmark has acquired 100% of the shares in Fairplay Shipping, a Danish freight forwarding and shipping company with 13 employees, broadening its service offering and strengthening its position in specialist logistics across the Danish market.
Fairplay Shipping brings expertise across healthcare logistics, fine art transport, project cargo, air freight and warehouse operations, serving customers across a wide range of industries.
The acquisition complements Hecksher’s existing capabilities and supports its ambition to provide reliable and flexible logistics solutions through strong local knowledge combined with an international network.
All Fairplay Shipping employees will continue in their current roles, ensuring continuity for customers, partners and suppliers.
Jeanet Hedegaard will remain as Managing Director during the integration process, maintaining the personal service, flexibility and close customer relationships that have characterised the company.
Niklas Olsson, CEO of Hecksher, described Fairplay Shipping as having built a strong reputation with an experienced team that will complement the existing organisation, framing the acquisition as an important step in developing Hecksher’s Danish operations and creating additional value for customers.
Hedegaard welcomed the transaction as an opportunity for Fairplay Shipping’s customers to benefit from Hecksher’s wider network, resources and knowledge while continuing to work with the same people and receiving the same standard of service.
