Vedat Serbet has been appointed as Head of Business Development Rail Europe at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. In this newly created position, the logistics expert will further develop the international expansion of rail-based transportation, establishing new intermodal products while also expanding alternative connections between Europe and China.
To drive forward the strategic expansion of the international and regional rail segment, Hellmann has already appointed Marijo Pesic as Director Product Management Rail Europe and Matthias Köfler as Product Manager Rail East Europe. With his most recent role as former Head of Rail Freight EMEA for Dachser, Vedat Serbet decided to return to Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, bringing back his 13 years of experience with the company. His return strengthens Hellmann's European rail freight team with valuable expertise. The aim is to offer customers more internationally customized and environmentally friendly intermodal products with the focus on rail transport. At the same time, bypass routes are being established via the so-called Middle Corridor across the Caspian Sea to sustainably establish rail transport between Europe and Asia.
"At Hellmann, we are continuously developing our rail transports and Vedat has already played a significant role in this context in the past. Therefore, we are delighted to have his expertise back on board. By expanding rail connections, we are not only enhancing our service offerings for customers but are also making a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions,” says Jens Wollesen, Chief Operating Officer, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
