Hellmann Worldwide Logistics celebrates its 22nd Worldwide Meeting in Chicago

23 September 2010: On September 8 – 11 2010 the global Network of Hellmann Worldwide Logistics held its 22nd Worldwide Meeting in Chicago. In attendance were 251 delegates, representing the top management from 91 countries. Following a tough year in 2009 all delegates reported double digit increases, as high as 70-80%, over all services and in all relevant categories, for the first 6 months of 2010.

Besides the main products like air freight, sea freight, sea-air, trucking, warehousing, and contract logistics/consulting, the focus in the years to come will be on industry specific solutions. Hellmann has already made an excellent name for itself in fashion, automotive, healthcare, perishables, and marine services and will continue to invest in these more specialised areas.

Andy Connor, Managing Director of Hellmann UK, said:

“The meeting in Chicago was a fantastic way to celebrate Hellmann’s achievements throughout 2010 so far, and it was also a great opportunity to bring the organisation together and share ideas and developments between countries and colleagues. It ended on a high and it’s looking like a record breaking year is definitely within reach.”

The Hellmann Network is set to expand further with all eyes focusing on emerging markets in Africa, the Caspian Region, and Middle East.
