Cross-border logistics are standard practice in shipping. However, not all shipments have Germany either as the origin or the destination point. When it comes to such complex cross trades, smooth planning and handling are particularly important. Hansa Meyer Global relies on its globally based offices for this, as well as brain power in the Bremen headquarters.
The EMS-Fehn-Group specialises in particularly large, voluminous and heavy loads. In addition to technical expertise and its own equipment, the Leer-based company group considers good external and internal communication as its key USP.
