Heinemann Americas and Bolloré Logistics strike North American partnership

AMERICAS. Heinemann Americas and Bolloré Logistics, a leading player in international transport and logistics, have struck a new partnership for North America. This extends a working relationship over many years in other markets.

Heinemann Americas, the Florida-based subsidiary of Gebr Heinemann, selected Bolloré Logistics to manage its regional warehouse to meet the logistics needs of its new and expanded cruise business. Since Heinemann Americas opened its Miami office nearly seven years ago, it has secured partnerships with some of the world’s largest cruiselines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC and Princess.

Heinemann Americas and Bolloré Logistics Americas celebrated their new partnership with a ribbon cutting at Bolloré’s Miami warehouse on 20 May.

“With Heinemann Americas’ continued expansion in the US cruise market, we needed a logistics and warehouse partner that could provide the resources, expertise and space to support these new ventures,” said Heinemann Americas CEO Nadine Heubel. “When exploring potential partners for our Miami-based operations, Bolloré was the clear choice – and we are excited to be working with them.”

Heubel cited Bolloré’s “long history of success, commitment to green and sustainability-focused initiatives, and state-of-the-art inventory management systems” as among the reasons behind the choice.

“We are thrilled to add Heinemann Americas to our list of prominent partners in our Miami regional travel retail hub,” said Yves Laforgue, CEO Americas of Bolloré Logistics. “Heinemann Americas and Bolloré Logistics share the same values of excellence, sustainability and customer-centricity and we are excited to be working closely together and to support each other’s continued success in the Americas.”
