Helming Hellmann

The global, long-established (over 152 years old) eponymous Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, founded by namesake Carl Heinrich Hellmann in the Northern German town of Osnabrueck in 1871, now has strong roots and is well-rooted in the Middle East.

Earlier this year 2023, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics announced a pan regional merger of the MESA (Middle East South Asia) entity to include the continent of Africa to constitute the greater Indian Subcontinent-Middle East-Africa region (IMEA).

Madhav Kurup was promoted to the position of CEO of the new unit for the company’s expanded geographical territory-IMEA. For this month’s cover story, Global Supply Chain interviewed the man at the helm for this exclusive, exhaustive report.

We also journeyed to the UAE capital to solely interview Faisal Bin Saad AlBedah, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, SAL Saudi Arabian Logistics, who was attending the recently concluded 5th IATA Ground Handling Conference (IGHC) held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), as head of his company’s delegation. We carry a report.

Elsewhere, we also interviewed Sara M. Pinheiro, Distribution Team Manager, Middle East Africa / South Asia, Acronis, visiting from her office in Sofia, Bulgaria for this year’s edition of the Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference 2023 (GISEC) held in Dubai.

Elsewhere, we are excited to report on an interesting highlight and a turning point development. We travelled as second time to Abu Dhabi to witness the launch of the first 100% electric waste truck in the United Arab Emirates, the first fully electric heavy truck launched in the Middle East, by Renault Trucks Middle East and its Abu Dhabi dealer Al Masaood, in collaboration with Tadweer, (the sole custodian of waste management for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi). We report on this landmark event.

The logistics and supply chain industry across the globe and notably the Middle East is super volatile and ever-evolving and we work hard to bring you to current on developments, reports, features, one-on-one interviews on a range of subjects both in our monthly print-digital publication and also on our web portal www.globalsupplychainme.com
