“C. Hartwig enables us not only to meaningfully enrich the existing network, but also to open up new markets with new locations,” said Tobias Bartz, member of the management board and went on to add, “Particularly in the area of ocean freight, we expect a considerable strengthening of our transports.”

C. Hartwig is a Polish company involved in transport, forwarding and logistics market with a focus on sea and air freight as well as land transport. In addition, C. Hartwig also operates internationally and offers its customers and contractors solutions for multimodal forwarding, warehousing and project logistics.
