Hamburg, Germany & Florence, Italy – In a strategic move to further establish its presence in the German market, Savino Del Bene has announced the acquisition of Hamburg-based company Seabridge Transport GmbH. This aligns with the multinational Freight Forwarding and Logistics Company’s growth strategy, solidifying its role in one of Germany’s core logistics hubs.
Hamburg, which served as the administrative headquarters for Savino Del Bene German operations, will now fully become an operating base for the Company, allowing to offer Savino Del Bene’s complete range of core products and services.
“Seabridge is an ideal fit for Savino Del Bene”, said Andreas Kujawski, Managing Director Savino Del Bene Germany. “Especially in sea freight, Seabridge is strong in imports, Savino Del Bene is strong in exports. We are not only increasing our sea freight volume significantly, but with a balanced import and export volume we are becoming the ideal partner for container shipping lines, who now also find in Savino Del Bene a loyal partner for equipment repositioning in the Northwest Continent.”
Oliver Foessleitner, Managing Owner of Seabridge: “Savino Del Bene, with its global freight forwarding network, is the ideal platform to ensure the further growth of our Hamburg organization. Two owner-managed, high-performance air and sea freight forwarding companies are growing together.”
In the year of Savino Del Bene 125th Anniversary, acquisition of Seabridge strengthens the Company presence in the region, creating new synergies to drive growth and expand opportunities on the German Market.
