\nFounded in 1926, the company was most recently led in the third generation by Hans-Georg Schmitz. The employees of Robert Schmitz will become part of the Rhenus Group with the acquisition. Even after the acquisition, the Hagen company will continue to exist as an independent entity. “Robert Schmitz Spedition optimally complements our service portfolio and enables us to deepen our logistics services in the steel sector. Through our locations in Duisburg, Dortmund, and Hagen, we can excellently supply the expanded Ruhr area all the way to the Siegerland and Sauerland,” explains Michael Appelhans, Managing Director of Rhenus Ports.<\/p>\n
New Perspectives for Customers<\/h5>\n
For Hans-Georg Schmitz, the step to join the Rhenus Group is the right one: “Thanks to the comprehensive network of the Rhenus Group, completely new perspectives are opening up for our customers. We look forward to the next steps in collaboration with our strong new partner.”<\/p>\n
