New office will further strengthen the group's Domestic division

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has opened an office in Kansas City, Missouri. The move is part of a business strategy plan, in support of Hellmann's Domestic division, which focuses on growth and expansion and allocates management resources to fields where the company sees great potential for future growth.

'Our presence in Kansas City, the heart of America, is essential,' said Arnold K. Goldstein, VP Sales and Marketing for Hellmann USA. 'It represents another progressive step in building our national infrastructure to better serve our clients, particularly those in the local market.'

The new office began operations in early June and is managed by Richard Devers, along with a team of nine logistics professionals. As an expert in the industry, Devers' experience includes working for Circle Freight International and Burlington Northern Air Freight, preceded by eight years in distribution.
