Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics AB to merge with Neptumar AB
Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics expands range of services after merger with Neptumar AB, owned by Menzell & Döhle
Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics AB, owned by the Swedish transport group Greencarrier AB, has merged with Neptumar AB, which is owned by the German transport group Menzell & Döhle. The new company will operate under the name of Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics AB with offices in Gothenburg with eleven staff and Norrköping with eight staff. The agreement was signed in Hamburg and applies from September 30, 2013.
Joachim Lagerstedt, Managing Director of Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics AB, says the new company will be able to offer a wider range of services and products to its customers.
“Our merger with Neptumar in Sweden and the coming cooperation with the Menzell & Döhle group in Germany is a very important step in the development of Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics,” he says.
The greatest strength for the new Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics AB is its representation of more liner agencies to cover a wider service portfolio. But it will also benefit from further synergies in other fields, including project shipping. Joachim Lagerstedt comments: “We are very happy about this new set-up and now get a very strong partner in Menzell & Döhle on the north-west continent. This will create even further great opportunities in the future for continued growth, expansion and development of the business.”
Christoph Tamke, Managing Director, Menzell & Döhle says: “We consider the merger of our Neptumar organisation with Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics in Sweden as a significant step forward in our organisation’s aim to strengthen our position in Scandinavia.” Menzell & Döhle is one of the leading independent liner agents in North Europe, representing about 30 liner companies which operate container, conventional cargo and ro/ro services. “In partnership with Scandinavian Shipping & Logistics, we will be in a position to offer even better service and transport solutions for all our customers – principals, cargo owners and freight forwarders – in the northern part of Europe,” Mr Tamke adds.
