GERMANY/DENMARK. Gebr. Heinemann and Scandlines today announced a critical strengthening of their partnership with the German travel retailer taking over management of the onboard shops on six ferries operated by the Danish-German ferry company and the latter’s two port border stores in Puttgarden and Rostock, Germany.
The joint concession agreement will run for ten years. Until now, Gebr. Heinemann has operated under a supply agreement for both Scandlines’ retail channels, offering a wide range of products.
“With this new contract, we are building on the foundation of our long-standing cooperation to further enhance the shopping experience through our travel retail expertise. These shops hold great potential, and we look forward to welcoming the teams into the Heinemann family,” Gebr. Heinemann Co-CEO and Co-Owner Max Heinemann said.
Scandlines CEO Eric Grégoire added, “This is a major milestone in Scandlines’ history. We are excited to take the shopping and travel experience of our customers and passengers to an even higher level together with Gebr. Heinemann.
“We share many core values with Gebr. Heinemann, which was a key factor in choosing our partner, because our stores are so important to our customers and passengers.
“Scandlines plans to sail for many decades to come, so this is the right step to future-proof our business.”
The concession agreement is subject to regulatory approvals. 🛳️
