C.H. Robinson opens new German office
Having joined C.H. Robinson in April 2014, Oliver Schmidt manages the new road transportation office in Hamburg, which focuses on new customer sales and executing road transport services.
An industry veteran since 1994, Schmidt developed a comprehensive background in road transport, air, ocean, project cargo, and supply chain consulting while working for large and midsized German logistics companies.
The opening of a road transport office in Hamburg not only provides logistics services to the German market, but also to a broad list of other European countries. The Hamburg office is co-located with C.H. Robinson’s Hamburg global forwarding office in order to serve all kinds of supply chain and project logistics requirements.
In addition to the Hamburg opening, C.H. Robinson has named two new branch managers- Michel Datz and Jochen Mueller- for the offices in Basel, Switzerland, and Düsseldorf, Germany respectively.
Datz joined C.H. Robinson in June 2014 as branch manager of the company’s Basel, Switzerland office. With 30 years of experience, mainly in global forwarding, Datz will continue to develop strong relationships with the customer network in Switzerland, whilst focusing on overall business growth.
Mueller joined C.H. Robinson’s Düsseldorf, Germany office as branch manager in May 2014. Mueller’s transportation career began at TNT in 2001 and includes experience in a variety of sales, sales management, and branch management positions at Fercam Transporte and most recently Gruber Logistics.
“The addition of Oliver, Michel, and Jochen, along with the Hamburg office opening has solidified our commitment to the European region,” said Bryan Foe, president of C.H. Robinson Europe. “Our dynamic office network offers flexible, quality, and reliable service with the local knowledge that customers demand.”
