During six years at Panalpina she set up its automotive logistics solutions division in Europe, after nearly 20 years at DB Schenker.
“We are very pleased to have gained a proven industry expert in Ms Thielemann-Hald,” said Hellmann CEO Reiner Heiken. “For Hellmann, the automotive sector is the largest and a strategically very important industry solution.
“Our goal is to further expand the segment with Ms Thielemann-Hald and her international team, even in the current challenging market situation.”
Ms Thielemann-Hald added: “The automotive industry has always placed particularly high demands on logistics. Especially under the current challenges, securing global transport flows has become a major focus of attention in the automotive sector. Therefore, we have to analyse market needs closely and continuously adapt processes in an agile and dynamic way.”
Hellmann has been a global player in automotive logistics for more than 20 years, and has a portfolio that includes value-added services such as warehousing and customs clearance and multimodal transport services.
