Osnabrueck, March 11, 2024. Patrick Löwenthal will take over the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO) CEP Europe at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics on April 1, 2024. He succeeds Wilfried Hesselmann, who has successfully led the courier and express business since 2016 and is now taking his well-deserved retirement after 50 years with Hellmann. In his role as COO, Wilfried Hesselmann has driven expansion in the Eastern European market, including the recent acquisitions of Innight in Hungary and Romania, and Optimnet in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In his role as Managing Director of Night Star Express Hellmann Honold, he has also been instrumental in strengthening the network reach and performance of the joint venture, in particular through the successful acquisitions of Eiltrans and Gertner Express.

Having served as Managing Director of Night Star Express Hellmann in the Netherlands and Belgium since 2013, his deep understanding of the company’s processes, partners, and teams ensures a seamless takeover of the European CEP business. Together with his team, Patrick Löwenthal will continue to drive forward the expansion of the European express network in the coming years, contributing to the company's global growth targets.
