Savino Del Bene expands in Germany with acquisition

International shipping and logistics company, Savino Del Bene, has announced the acquisition of Hamburg-based company, Seabridge Transport.

The strategic move, the company said, is to further establish its presence in the German market, aligning with its growth strategy of solidifying its role in one of the country’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, offering a complete range of core products and services.

“Seabridge is an ideal fit for Savino Del Bene,” said Managing Director Savino Del Bene Germany, Andreas Kujawski, “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.”

The purchase takes place in the same year as Savino Del Bene’s 125th anniversary.

“Savino Del Bene, with its global freight forwarding network, is the ideal platform to ensure the further growth of our Hamburg organisation,” said Managing Owner of Seabridge, Oliver Foessleitner. “Two owner-managed, high-performance air and sea freight forwarding companies are growing together.”
