JF Hillebrand, the world’s leading logistics provider to the beverage industry, has acquired 3W Logistik, a German transport operator. Financial terms were not disclosed. The reason for the deal was to enable the company to expand its European wine transport services. Both companies work within the wine, beer and spirit sectors with JF Hillebrand specializing in containerized freight and 3W Logistik focused on intra-europe groupage services and road freight. “3W’s services are very complementary to the services JF Hillebrand offers today and we serve the same customer base. Both Andreas Walsleben, founder and co-owner of 3W and I are very excited to join our efforts, offering both employees and customers new opportunities.” Tilo Raab, JF Hillebrand Germany managing director.
