Hellmann Worldwide Logistics takes over PKZ Group, its long-standing air and seafreight partner in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and at the same time establishes its own Slovakian national company.
More specifically, Hellmann acquires 10 locations of the PKZ Group and closes a gap in its existing road network in the partial and full load segment.
At the same time, the company takes over the services previously performed by the PKZ Group in the areas of air and seafreight, rail transport and contract logistics, thus creating the conditions for continuously expanding its cross-product market share via its own national company.
In particular, from June 2023, the existing business activities and the workforce of the PKZ Group will be transferred to the newly established Hellmann Worldwide Logistics Slovakia.
The new national company will be headed by the current managing director of PKZ Group, Martin Kiaba. “I am convinced that this strategically important step will further strengthen our market position and offer our employees a great opportunity to develop within the global Hellmann structure,” he commented.
