Hamburg-based transport and logistics company, Hoyer Group, has acquired Chilean company Inter-Tank.
This strategic acquisition, according to Hoyer Group CEO Björn Schniederkötter, will strengthen Hoyer’s market position in Chile, its global network as well as its capabilities in the liquid bulk and flexitank logistics sector.
Paco Koudstaal, Regional Director Latin America of the Hoyer Group, added: ”We are excited to integrate Inter-Tank’s expertise and welcome over 30 new colleagues with extensive experience in Chile’s wine and oil markets.”
Philip Fell, Commercial Manager of Inter-Tank, also commented on the partnership: ”Being a part of the global network of the Hoyer Group will create additional value-added for our customers in South America and worldwide.”
In February, the Hoyer Group opened a new office in Colombia, focusing on ISO Tank business and expanding its portfolio locally to include flexitank, gas, IBC tote and trucking services.
”I am thrilled to offer the Hoyer Group’s services to our current and new customers in Colombia,” said Hoyer Group Country Manager Colombia, Isabel Londoño.
Hoyer was founded in 1946 under the name ‘Bruno Hoyer Internationale Fachspedition’. In addition to its headquarters in Hamburg, the business has offices worldwide including Houston, Rotterdam, Shanghai and São Paulo.
