HAMBURG's Senator International Freight Forwarding Group has been acquired by Maersk, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
'Founded by my father Uwe Kirschbaum in 1984, Senator has grown to a well-renowned global freight forwarder. Our employees have always delivered first-class services to our valued customers,' said Senator CEO Tim-Oliver Kirschbaum.
'Senator's own controlled air product started in 2016 and has proven to be a success story. Our customers honor our reliability - particularly in challenging times during the pandemic. By joining Maersk, we strongly believe that we will be able to deliver an even broader portfolio with own controlled air capacity as well as also in other modes of transportation. Senator's customers and team will love it.' said Mr Kirschbaum.
The transaction represents a step in Maersk's plan to strengthen its integrated logistics value proposition.
maersk hopes to offer an integrated network to further enhance opportunities for customers.
Said Maersk Ocean & Logistics CEO Vincent Clerc: 'Air freight is a crucial enabler of flexibility in our customers' supply chains. Therefore, as a natural next step in expanding our integrated logistics offering, we are ramping up our service within air freight.'
'Senator is a strong strategic fit to our existing air offering, adding the key capabilities, network, and scale needed to provide our customers the opportunity to realise the upside of a fully integrated supply chain across ocean, air, rail, and landside,' said Mr Clerc.
Maersk aims to increase its presence in the industry, combining its air freight services with Senator's complementary offering to benefit customers.
