CH Robinson, one of the world’s largest transportation and logistics companies, has opened a new office in Basel, Switzerland, as it aims to further expand its European footprint.
Located on the borders of Switzerland, France and Germany, the Basel office employs multi-lingual account managers who will focus on the customer facing aspects of the business including new sales, account management and account operations, the group revealed.
Managing the new office will be Ildiko Gergely, a 13-year transportation industry veteran, who started her CH Robinson career in the Syracuse, NY office in 2000 and opened the company’s Budapest, Hungary office in 2002.
“The Basel office represents an opportunity for global companies and supply chain decision makers in the area to see firsthand the value CH Robinson can bring to their organisation,” she explained.
In the last 16 months, CH Robinson has named Bryan Foe as president of Europe, Gary York as director of sourcing for Europe and Ivo Aris as director of European global forwarding.
In addition, the company acquired Apreo Logistics SA, and opened offices in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Istanbul, Turkey.
