“Based on the restructuring work successfully conducted last year and the resulting reduction in work for one major customer, we’ve decided to sell our business activities in Fellbach and Weilimdorf. In order to ensure the successful continuation of the business operations, it was important for us to find the best solution for the employees working there and the existing partnerships with customers,” says Thilo Streck, Managing Director of Rhenus Freight Logistics, making his case forcefully.
The business site in Fellbach, which is located north-east of Baden-Württemberg’s
state capital, Stuttgart, is a partner within Raben’s trans-European network for historical reasons. “As there’s a large demand for domestic break bulk cargo shipments from our customers, it was a logical step to conduct the discussions with the Raben Group,” says Thilo Streck. “The international transport operations between the Stuttgart region and the Rhenus companies in many European countries will also remain intact in this constellation in future. As a result, the business site will continue to operate in a stable environment and as an excellent addition to the current Raben network within Baden-Württemberg, even after the change in business owner.”
