CB Customs Broker specializes in all areas of EU customs clearance, while heyworld operates a digital logistics platform for cross-border eCommerce shipments. Through the fusion, an integrated offering emerges that combines transport, customs clearance, and digital control in one solution.
“The fusion of CB Customs Broker and heyworld represents an important milestone in our strategic orientation to go beyond traditional airport-to-airport solutions. By
combining their complementary strengths and competencies, we create a unique offering in cross-border parcel logistics – an offering that will further strengthen our market position and allow us to provide our customers with higher added value and greater precision,” emphasizes Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo AG. “In recent years, both companies have significantly contributed to the success and growth of Lufthansa Cargo in this dynamic segment through entrepreneurial thinking and innovation.”
