FOREWORD
Dear Reader,
Summer in the northern hemisphere is
usually a more quiet time, and so the economic
and political news are few, with the
exception of the still looming problems in
Europe and the hope, globally, that this will
not lead to just another global recession. In
the UK we celebrated wonderful and peaceful
Olympic Games with a fantastic atmosphere
all visitors enjoyed. Well, many of
you are also on vacation and we hope that
you enjoyed them, that you could recharge
your batteries and had some time for your
families.
But of course there is no stand-still in our
company. We are about to open our own office
in Tanzania, the 4 th ‘Hellmann country’
on the African continent, after the previous
owners sold us 100 percent of their shares.
Tanzania is important, it is a major gateway
into the landlocked countries of Central Africa
and it will have a positive impact on
our development there.
The German economy is still growing, but
many countries in Europe are struggling.
Some of our offices have to work hard to
stay within budget and it will take a united
effort of all of us to make ends meet. Nontraditional
markets for us like Africa and
also the Caspian region/Central Asia will
play a major role in our future concept as
many companies are investing there due to
the abundance of oil and commodities. They
are challenging markets but well worth for
us to look closer into it.
Jost Hellmann Klaus Hellmann
As you will read in this latest edition of our
Magazine there are very interesting developments
in Germany as well. We are not only
talking the talk but also walking the walk. We
actively support green logistics in utilizing the
rail not only for our long hauls but also on
short distances, like now from our LCL hub in
Bremen to Hamburg for our global consolidation
business. In doing so we save on fuel and
also reduce the CO ² emission substantially,
which is one of our declared goals. This is also
true for the German Longliners, large trucks
which some customers now use and which
are still not accepted everywhere in Germany
and Europe by the governments, but as you
will read later, there are tremendous savings
in fuel consumption, thus another benefit for
the environment.
You will read quite a number of interesting
articles, as usual, in our Partner Magazine
and we both encourage you to make use of it
yourself. Write about interesting events, hobbies,
happenings, and it does not need to be
business related. This is a magazine from the
Hellmann team for the Hellmann team and
should continue to be interesting for everyone
to read and enjoy.
We are now well into the 2 nd half of 2012 and
we need to increase all our efforts, work hand
in hand to achieve our goals for this year. Let’s
move forward with an extra effort and both
of us and the entire management appreciates
your dedication and commitment for our companies
worldwide.
We thank you and remain with best regards
and wishes,

REGUlATORy COMplIANCE TRAINING – US bRANCHES
Phyllis Dearborn, Hellmann Miami
The Hellmann Boston, Massachusetts Brand with their Certificates
Each year, the employees in the US
branches receive one week of regulatory
compliance training based on their
tenure and responsibilities. For new employees
hired since the training tour of
last year, there is classroom training for
the following: Automated Export Systems,
Transportation Security Administration
Federal Maritime Commission and
Denied Parties and Embargoed countries.
The Hellmann San Francisco Brand with their Certificates
For supervisors and managers, there is classroom
training for export licensing requirements.
For experienced export and domestic
personnel there is a full day of shipment simulations.
During this training, each person
is given five sets of documents specific to
their function of air or ocean. They then have
to process those shipments completely ensuring
that all information on the documents is
correct or corrected and that all regulatory
compliance requirements are met. In addition,
there is also a general training for all personnel
on Incoterms 2010. At the end of the day,
there is a full review of each shipment in
detail including discussions on changes that
should be made.
HEllMANN UTIlIzES TRAIN CONNECTIONS bETWEEN bREMEN
AND HAMbURG TO REDUCE CO ² EMISSIONS
Max Siep, Hellmann Osnabrueck
Reduction of CO ² emissions and optimization
of transport chains – these are two
goals that firms in the industry of logistics
constantly strive to improve. To achieve
these goals, Hellmann implemented
a network termed “Rail Solutions”
in 2004. The program is considered
a great success since its inception
in 2004. In May 2012, this process was
developed further to transfer worldwide
express cargo via rail transport from the
Hellmann HUB in Bremen to the Port of
Hamburg.
Hellmann operates this program in conjunction
with its Bremen based partner, DCP, and
has for a few weeks utilized the cargo railway
system of the ACOS Group (also based
in Bremen). With this comprehensive system,
international groupage freight, whether
sent from one of Hellmann’s various branch
offices located throughout Germany or de-
livered daily from a customer via direct
truck transport to DCP, is packed into Hellmann
containers designated for worldwide
destinations and loaded directly onto the railway
network. The packing division of DCP has
a direct rail connection that conducts daily
operations between Bremen and the Port
of Hamburg. “For us, Green Logistics is not
some form of lip service”, explains Karl Engelhard.
“The new solution with our partner
DCP clearly demonstrates how effectively we
can reduce CO ² emissions by optimizing our
transport chain. With this solution we expect
to reduce annual CO ² emissions by approximately
200 tons.”
With the “Rail Solutions” product, Hellmann
connects Northern Germany’s centers
with various destinations in Southern Germany
by means of daily blocktrains. It is expected
that with this system 240 truck trips will be
replaced, saving approximately 36,000 liters
of diesel fuel and nearly 86 tons of CO ² carbon
emissions each day. In this comparison,
the train emissions (which account for approximately
20% of truck emissions) have been
taken into account.

A SOUND MIND IN A HEAlTHy bODy
Michael Claus, Hellmann Miami
Climb up to Zuikerbossie
Although Winston Churchill once famously
said ‘Sport is a Killer’, I beg to
differentiate, and the fact he lived a long
life has certainly to do more with his
gene pool than the fact he did not do
any sports …. Some of us in the Hellmann
world are pretty active, running
marathons, doing Ironman’s, running
cross peninsulas or countries and some
of us enjoying bicycling racing for the
fun of it.
Every year the 2nd Sunday in March, Cape
Town / South Africa is hosting the largest cycling
event in the world, the Cape-Argus-Race
with up to 35,000 (!) participants. This race
has seen cycling greats like the Belgian superstar
Eddy Merckx, the Spaniard Alberto Contador,
the Italian Gilberto Simoni, the German
Jan Ullrich and the US-Star Lance Armstrong,
to name only a few in a long line, and lately
the Hellmann colors show off proudly for the
race as well.
For Team South Africa’s own Juan Enslin this is
a ‘must-do’ event since many years. For Klaus
Hrazdira from HPL, René Baumann from Team
ATS-Hellmann Switzerland and myself this
was the first time and we were accompanied
by my Buddy Nickel Gösecke, a Realtor from
Miami/Hamburg.
The race is started right around sunrise at
the Cape Town waterfront and despite the
many racers, it is so excellently organized,
there is no pushing, shoving, rushing or what
Juan Argus
have you, very relaxed, very professional. Great
job by the organizers. The distance is 110 kms
and the route follows the Indian Ocean to
almost the Cape of Good Hope, then crosses
the Peninsular and down (and later up) the
Atlantic ocean side. Stunning vistas, cheering
folks over the entire distance and we all got
the idea how the Tour de France must be for
those super professionals.
Of course, for Nickel and I from the flatlands
of Hamburg and Miami, the hilly peninsula
had its challenges, climbs like up Chapman’s
Peak or Zuikerbossie right out of Hout Bay
were tough. But, after every climb there is a
Bildunterschrift

long and nice descent where we could catch
our breath again, tell our burning legs to ‘shut
up’ and think about the well-earned and deserved
beers at the finish line.
Some older sports/cycle enthusiasts may
remember ‘The Look’, the famous ‘look’
Lance Armstrong gave to Jan Ullrich during
one of the Tour de France, checking him out
and then getting out of the saddle and accelerate
forcefully, and Jan could not follow
and consequently lost the Tour. Well I know
how Jan Ullrich must have felt, because this
is what Klaus Hrazdira did to me, checking
me out, whether there is something left in the
tank going up Chapman’s Peak, and I had to
let him go as well. These guys training every
day in the mountains, how can I possibly get
to that level of climbing, when living in the
flatlands?
The temperatures peaked at 41°C (106 F),
but the medical support for those in trouble
was phantastic. Service stations every 10-15
miles with drinks and energy bars to load up
on those carbs, massage beds for those who
needed it, everything well thought through.
This was truly the greatest sports event I
ever participated in, and my fellow colleagues
agreed 100%. We did it in slightly more than

4 hours, Juan in less than 3 (!), we never saw
him … and the goal for next time will be less
than 4 hours. Juan? Guess we will still not see
him as he is speeding away …
There are a number of candidates who
consider joining next time and I herewith ask
them to get going, start training, don’t give
up, join us.
Since at the exact same time of the 2013 Cape
Argus Race we will have the 2013 Worldwide
Meeting in Istanbul, I am afraid we will therefore
not be able to come to Istanbul…
Just kidding, but we prepare for the 2014
Cape-Argus and many more to come. I talked
to the oldest participant after the race, 94
(ninety-four) years of age. He finished in unbelievable
5 ½ hours, wow. Hats up, that man
got my respect. No excuses for us, get going.
We should do this more often, in other
parts of the world as well, and we can use
the Worldwide Circular to distribute the ideas,
running, cycling (mountain or road), triathlons/
ironmans all in the Hellmann colors, true to our
slogan ‘the young company since 1871’.
One final thought and wish: Shortly after the
race our cycle buddy René Baumann got diagnosed
with cancer. I understand he is doing a
lot better now and that the treatment works.
Here is hoping René will be back in good
health and shape very soon, and we can call
him René ‘Lance’ Baumann in the next race.
Get well soon, René Baumann
HEllMANN UK ANNOUNCES pARTNERSHIp WITH
DIEHl SpEDITION
Matthew Marriott, Hellmann Lichfield
Hellmann UK has announced a new
partnership with Diehl Spedition in
Stuttgart. The partnership, which will
commence on June 01, 2012 will see
Hellmann UK’s operation for European
Land services working with Diehl Spedition
on distribution on a cross continental
level.
The new cooperation means that both companies
will operate a daily groupage system
between the Hellmann UK hub operations in
Lichfield and Basildon to Stuttgart and back
based on express trailers, allowing Hellmann
to continue its development of the German
market with key System Alliance Europe
members. Diehl Spedition, which recently
joined the Gebrüder Weiss Family, will have
the key benefit of the complete Star Service
structure. The Star Service structure is a newly
launched Hellmann service offering that
provides customers with special transit time
options. Within the partnership with Diehl
Spedition, both companies will be able to
offer 48 hour door-to-door services with key
features including pre 10am deliveries and
allocated time slots.
The daily system that Hellmann UK will
run with Diehl will compliment our current
structure and enhance the service and
growth potential for the German market.
Diehl Spedition is a well respected organisation
and therefore the opportunity for both
businesses to prosper is excellent. Dieter Alber,
a member of the management board of
Diehl Spedition, also comments that he sees
great potential in developing the market further
with Hellmann UK due to the 1st class
quality of both companies which will cement
the market leading position of Diehl in the
Stuttgart market.

HEllMANN ANNOUNCES THE OpENING OF A NEW
bRANCH AT THE AIRpORT OF VIlNIUS, lITHUANIA
Patrick Nathe and Michael Mihm, Hellmann East Europe Maintal
In July 2012, Hellmann announced the
opening of a new branch at the airport of
Vilnius in Lithuania. Hellmann has been
operating in Lithuania since 2007. Due to
the rapid growth and development during
the previous 5-year period, the expansion
became a necessity as storage and aircraft
activity reached peak capacities. However,
with this new expansion, all employees
in Vilnius have now been granted
with 2,500 m² of space, with options
of 10,000 m² of storage and 600 m²
of available office space.
Hellmann currently has 33 active employees
in Vilnius, 12 in Kaunas and two in Klaipeda,
in 2011 they reported a turnover of 9.5
million Euros. In addition to its acquisition of
additional real estate, Hellmann is also expanding
its product portfolio in the region to
include rail transport and 3PL services alongside
its standard road, air and sea freight
services. It is estimated that up to 3,000
packages are shipped monthly with regular line
The new branch in Vilnius shines in new splendour
services throughout Europe and are cleared for
worldwide export with Hellmann’s sea and air
network.
The development of the past few years has
been very positive. In the past year alone,
we have had an increase of 200% in our sea
freight operations and transit to Russia has
also grown. Our target for 2012 is continuous
growth at a minimum of 30% with the new
location and with air freight in particular.
HEllMANN TRANSpORTS bOlTING RIG TO GUATEMAlA
Christopher Haase, Transmodal Guatemala
Using a combination of RO/RO (roll on
– roll of) carriers, Hellmann successfully
transported an Atlas Copco bolting rig
from Wallhamn, Sweden to Santo Tomás
de Castilla, Guatemala, with transshipment
at Livorno, Italy.
Atlas Copco is supplying several mines in
Guatemala with specialized machinery, parts
and equipment and Hellmann has been providing
most of the logistics services for these.
Cargoes originate mainly from Sweden, Atlas
Copco’s headquarters, with additional volumes
from South Africa and Belgium, among other
countries. The successfully executed shipment
of this bolting rig is the result of the combined
professional efforts of Transmodal, S.A. in Guatemala,
Greencarrier AB in Sweden and Hellmann
in Italy.

ExCITING VARIETy WITHIN THE HElIOS pROGRAM:
pROjECT bOOM IN 2012
Britta Kemper, Hellmann Osnabrueck
For four years we have been live with
HELIOS, and up until this point we have
never been so busy working on so many
modules at the same time. At the moment
our HELIOS Team is supporting 10
projects in total, which involves planning,
preparation and on-going support…
The Worldwide “Classics“
At this stage, we are experienced with our
“classic modules” (Customer Relationship
Management, Master Data Management,
Human Resources and Self Service) and as a
result we are able to bring new countries on
board quite quickly, provided of course that
the countries have made sufficient preparation,
in terms of data cleansing within the
legacy systems and laying the groundwork
for new roles and responsibilities.
The roll-out of our Customer Relationship
Management is almost complete in all Hellmann
countries with an existing sales structure,
and is at a much more advanced stage
than the roll-out of other modules. Besides
roll-out and support of the five modules, with
which at least one country is working, many
other different projects were started simultaneously…
The „New Ones“ in the pipeline: Focus
Germany
In order to manage our land transport, we
have found a solution for our future Hellmann
Transport Management System (HTM). This
means that the project will now really start to
gather momentum and we can make preparation
for the pilot branch Crivitz.
By implementing the Purchasing module,
our internal order process will be a lot
easier. We will create and maintain our
purchase orders ourselves and, we will be
able to track them in the system until the
desired product (e.g. mobile phone, notebook,…)
is delivered. The Travel Expense
module is also coming up soon. This tool
will help us to process our travel expense
account easier and much faster. We are
moving from a paper-based workflow to an
automatic solution, therefore saving time,
Module Specific Adaptations
effort and enabling quicker repayment to
the employee.
Besides maintaining personal master
data, the upstream recruitment process
will be included in the integrated HELIOS
system soon. In the future, we will be able
to create and manage the whole process
within this new HELIOS module - from the
vacancy request, application arrival and selection
process of internal and external applicants
(e.g. interviews) to the recruitment.
Within our Customer Excellence project we
are moving forward as well. Main target
is to gather our customer contacts across
all entry channels and contact points (e.g.
telephone, email,…) within the Customer
Service. Therefore, two pilot branches have
been nominated (Bremen and Osnabrueck)
and initial information events and process
analyses are planned soon.
You will hear from us regarding the implementation
of the new modules in Germany. If
All HElIOS MODUlES: SOFTWARE UpGRADE
Verena Marks, Hellmann Osnabrueck
As you might have already noticed, we
have updated our HELIOS system in order
to provide you with a more stable system
as well as enhanced functionality. Therefore,
we are working with the new system
version since the end of July 2012.
You find major modifications within the
overall navigation, which carry different
advantages for you.
First of all the overview of your assigned responsibilities
has become more concise by changing
the flat work list to a hierarchic structure.
Secondly, if you have set up certain favorites
on the HELIOS homepage, you are now able
to switch between your “Favorites” directly.
Before the upgrade, this was only possible by
navigating via the home button.
Beyond these overall adjustments of the navigation
you also find specific adaptions within
each module (Picture on top).

pOlITICAlly RElEVANT SHIpMENT ORDER: UN
TRANSpORT VEHIClES FOR SyRIA
Markus Lingohr, Hellmann Dusseldorf
At the beginning of May our long-term,
Berlin based partner in air freight “Flying
Wheels” was given contract with very
unique terms that put it in the middle
of a political predicament. The contract
was for the transportation of 25 armored
Toyota Land Cruisers from Leipzig to the
Syrian capital of Damascus. The SUV’s
would then be utilized by United Nations
(UN) soldiers and staff for the planned observing
mission in the war-torn country.
As in most cases of air freight, time was both
the deciding and challenging factor. The contract
was presented to Flying Wheels on 8th
May, the decision on whether or not to accept
the contract would have to be made by May
11, 2012 and in accordance with the specifications
outlined by UN headquarters in New
York, the SUV’s must arrive in Damascus by
the following day on May 12, 2012.
“We immediately worked feverishly to
purchase suitable cargo aircraft", explained
Managing Director Rainer Landgraf.” At ACS
Air Charter Service in Frankfurt, we finally
found a solution." Two Airbus A300F and
a McDonnell Douglas MD11 were commissioned
for the assignment.
Of course even with the acquisition of the
necessary aircraft, there was still much to do.
As is often the case with aircraft, it is necessary
to acquire certain landing permits and in
situations in which there is a crisis occurring
this can be quite difficult, and Syria presented
no exception. Despite the support and backing
of the UN, permission to land was not
granted in either Leipzig or Damascus until
the last minute.
On May 11, 2012, the two Airbus planes
were loaded at the Leipzig airport. The transport
utility vehicles were loaded into the cargo
room of each aircraft in groups of 6, with
each vehicle weighing 5.3 tons, the combined
weight came up to about 31.8 tons per plane.
The next challenge Flying Wheels was faced
with, was during the loading of the third
airplane. The plane in question, an MD11
from Nairobi, finally arrived in Leipzig after
a 4 hour delay.
Our colleagues at Hellmann Damascus
were kept informed about the status of the
loading process in Leipzig and were able to
make preparations for the offloading process
in Damascus in an effort to make up
for the delay.
On Saturday morning, May 12, 2012, the
final Airbus landed at Damascus, and the
second arrived shortly thereafter at noon.
The last plane, the MD11 landed at 6 PM
and the last vehicle was delivered at exactly
11:45 that evening, thus fulfilling the UN’s
contractual requirements: that all the vehicles
are to be delivered by May 12, 2012.
Congratulations on the perfect delivery!
“Our thanks also go out to our colleagues at
Hellmann Damascus, the loading crew Port-
ground in Leipzig, the chartering firm ACS in
Frankfurt and the truck drivers who brought
the armored vehicles to Leipzig”, said Rainer
Landgraf on behalf of Flying Wheels. “All
parties have worked with the precision of a
Swiss timepiece in ensuring the success of the
completion of the contract. Many thanks!”

Cintas crew was off to a presentation by
Paul Goldsbrough (Hong Kong Sales at Hellmann
Asia). To end their trip, Cintas received
a hands-on tour of the Hong Kong charters
by Sandy Spence of Kalitta. Nothing was off

HEllMANN INCREASES EFFICIENCy WITH THE lONGlINER
Hendrik Jansen, Hellmann Osnabrueck
After a long period of planning and approval
procedures, Hellmann successfully
started using the long truck since
June 12, 2012. The nearly 20 kms distance
between our customer Duni, located
in Bramsche, and the company's
head office in Osnabrueck will be covered
by two longliners instead of the
three long stretchers which have been
driving on that route. At that time, 15
runs were needed in order to move the
pallets which are distributed via the
Hellmann transshipment hall. By using
the longliner, the number of runs needed
to pick-up the table covers and
napkins could be rescued to 10. Due
to the permitted weight of 44 tons and
the maximum length of 25.25 meters,
the logistic operational sequence is optimized
and the environmental pollution
is minimized.
After a tough process, we have managed to
be more efficient for our customers and to
relieve the road transport altogether. The recent
field test in the extension of the route
network shows that we are on the right track
and that we will continue to utilize the saving
potentials for our customer's sake and in
order to preserve the environment.
In 2006, Hellmann has already taken
part in a longliner test which was orga-
nized by the Lower Saxony. Back then,
the vehicle covered over 130,000 kilometers.
Aside from the CO ² emissions, also the Diesel
consumption could be reduced up to 21,000
liters.

THE WINNERS OF “lOGISTICS GENIUS 2011” HAVE bEEN FOUND
Vreni Mummenhoff, Hellmann Osnabrueck
Over a year ago, Hellmann launched the
search for the “Logistics Genius 2011”.
The contest gives primary pupils the opportunity
to explore the world of logistics.
These children were asked to present
their ideas by sending in projects, art,
concepts or by recording short videos.
Klaus Hellmann said about the contest: “Our
children grow up in a society in which everything
is available: the fresh milk for breakfast, the
magazines in the shop, or the bus which takes
them safely to school everyday. How could we
help children realize the extensive logistical processes
which are involved every day?
With this contest we would like to clarify
how fun and exciting logistics is, because
whether they are aware of it or not, they subconsciously
solve logistical challenges in their
daily lives. No sooner said than done: nearly
6,000 elementary schools in Germany have
been informed about our contest. The children
could participate with their class, alone or in
small groups up to three members.
A jury was selected to examine and evaluate
the projects. The jury included Klaus Hellmann,
Prof. Gerhard Lohmeier (our Environmental Officer),
Stephan Wessolek (Chief Editor of “spielen
und lernen”), Björn Helmke (Chief Editor of
DVZ), Prof. Kai Hoffmann (Manager of the Logistics
School of the European Fernhochschule
Hamburg), Prof. Wolfgang Bode (Hochschule
Osnabrück, and Head of the Institute of Traffic
and Logistics, LOGIS.NET), and Christoph Biemann
(Editor “Sendung mit der Maus”). The
winning team won a 10,000 euro voucher for
computer equipment and the single winner received
a family weekend at Disneyland®. The
winners were awarded during the presentation
ceremony at “Speicher III” in Osnabrueck.
The Winners
At the ceremony, the winners were announced.
The winners in the category small
groups are Pascal Heptner (10), Philipp Hollenberg
(9) and Mariano Machado (9) with
their idea for an online shop for second-hand
children clothes. Hannes Neupauer (11) won
second place with his self-built document
transportation robot that he built to save
the school secretary the trouble of having to
move documents to the staff room. The third
place was shared by two winners: Pia Hinrichs
(9) and Lukas-Fabian Zange (8).
In the group evaluations, the students of
class 3c from the Diesterwegschule took the
first prize. They developed a vehicle they called
“Foxmobil”, a solar powered module of
transportation that could adapt its size, depending
on the number of passengers. Close
runner-up was class 3b from the Grundschule
Duesseldorfer Straße in Bremen with their
project “Die Giraffen backen Apfelkuchen”
(The giraffes bake apple-pie). The third place
was split between class 2a from Grundschule
Gesmold and class 4 of the Grundschule Proesen.
Unfortunately, due to the distance, the
class was not able to attend the award ceremony.
However, the students still received
their award as our colleague from Leipzig,
Gunter Marienfeld, visited them in person.
The “Logistics Genius 2011” was a great
success. “Many ideas which simplify our daily
lives today, seemed to be impossible for
a long time and today they are indispensable.”,
Klaus Hellmann clarified. “The world
of logistics benefits from the input of younger
generations and the children have shown
how innovative processes and procedures
can be developed with new perspectives.
Young people change the world.”
After all, one thing is for sure: The project
”Logistics Genius” will continue in 2012.

bECOMING bETTER ACqUAINTED AND SHARING NEW
OppORTUNITIES IN EUROpE…
Eberhard Scholz, Hellmann Osnabrueck
This is a goal we have set ourselves together
with our longtime European
partners in land transport. In order to
succeed, we have organized workshops
in which representatives from various
operating departments are involved. One
goal of these workshops is to foster and
develop personal relationships between
the employees of the partner branches.
Everyone should know who their
colleagues “on the other side” are, how
they work, and how it may be possible
to bypass the obstacles normally associated
with working partnerships.
Other discussion points include:
Cost optimization
Improvement of services
Transit time stabilization
Customer satisfaction
In November 2011, employees from eight of
our branches have met with Gebrüder Weiss
employees in Munich. Representatives from
all Austrian Gebrüder Weiss branches which
cooperate with Hellmann have attended the
meeting.
In the evening prior to the meeting, the
participants were able to socialize on a more
personal level allowing all participants to con-
centrate on the functional contents the next
day. Some remaining open topics have been
discussed in March 2012 during a second
workshop which took place in Vienna.
On March 16, 2012, a meeting with our
partner Heppner in Strasbourg was held.
Heppner sent representatives from 10
branch offices, while Hellmann employees
from six branches participated.
In the various working groups, opportunities
in each of the mentioned discussion
fields were listed and brought into a plan
of approach. Some decisions were implemented
with immediate effect, others
according to a schedule. A few other projects
will be handled within smaller groups.
All remaining topics will be covered during
a workshop in Osnabrueck, planned to be
held in October 2012.
The meeting that Heppner had arranged
in Strasbourg was very well organized. The
meeting, which set no timely constraints
to creativity and promoted the input of
new ideas, has led to a slight delay of the
planned dinner event set to take place at
a restaurant specializing in cultural cuisine,
which included delicacies such as the famous
Alsatian Flammkuchen.
We have also had the opportunity to exchange
ideas with Essers, our Belgian partner.
On November 11, 2011 our counterparts
from Essers joined us in Osnabrueck where
they were able to share experiences regarding
cargo handling, fleet management and
controlling. At the end of the visit, Essers returned
the favor by inviting their Hellmann
counterparts to visit their facility in Genk/
Belgium on February 29, 2012 in order to
demonstrate how their own organization is
managed.
As a result of the meeting, a second HUB
in West Belgium has been established. Since
April 1, 2012, the Osnabrueck branch has begun
its initial phase with a second HUB in Ternat,
with the other Hellmann offices following
on June 1, 2012.
One thing remains certain: each of these
meetings has effectively improved cooperation
between employees who work together. The
communication through unofficial channels
seems to be effective as everyone is looking after
each other’s needs – a positive outcome from
which the customers will surely benefit.

CElEbRATING 60 yEARS IN THE UK
Matthew Marriott, Hellmann Lichfield
It’s not often that a nation is lucky
enough to celebrate its monarch
reigning for sixty years but, here in the
UK, that’s exactly what happened over
a double bank holiday weekend in June.
With river pageants, concerts, and street
parties galore, the country was unified
through its celebrations. To be honest
the British don’t need much of an excuse
to have a party and believe me we had
a BIG party!
London was at bursting point with tens of
thousands of people lining up to watch the
Thames River Pageant, while 14.7 million Brits
tuned in to watch the Diamond Jubilee concert.
However, while everyone was enjoying
the four day long extended weekend, Hellmann
European Operations opened up on the
bank holiday Tuesday to make sure we continued
distribution operations.
Celebrating and still maintaining operations
was no mean feat but, with some serious
forward planning, it all ran like clockwork.
Just as well considering Hellmann UK saw a
30% increase in volume on the Wednesday
morning which continued through to Friday.
So, just how did we do it? Well, we opened
our three European hubs in Bradford, Lichfield
and Basildon on the bank holiday Tuesday
from 8am until 4pm so we were still set up to
receive shipments from partners. This meant
that all continental trailers arriving in the
UK could be unloaded and trunked across the
network for delivery on Wednesday.
We also operated a complete truck network
on the Tuesday evening, which made sure we
delivered a day quicker than our competitors’
transit times and removed the chance of bottlenecks
in the distribution lines. And finally,
we pre-organised an increase in the number
of domestic vehicles to make sure we had
plenty of capacity across the UK.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? I can safely say
that an extraordinary amount of forward
planning went into that weekend – and not
only from Buckingham Palace’s side! Without
it, Hellmann UK would have had considerable
distribution delays like many of our rivals
but, thanks to all the management and staff
involved, we were able to manage a challenging
period.

INTRODUCING E-FREIGHT
Benno Nelles, Hellmann Dusseldorf
What is e-freight? The IATA e-freight project
aims to take the paper out of the air
cargo supply chain and replace it with a
cheaper, more accurate and more reliable
electronic messaging system, including
an electronic Air Waybill (e-AWB). Today,
the air cargo industry still relies heavily
on paper-based processes to enable
the movement of freight. The average
airfreight shipment generates up to 30
different paper documents – increasing
the cost of airfreight, lengthening transit
times and supporting green logistics
efforts. IATA e-freight replaces 20 of
these documents with electronic messages.
Facilitated by IATA, the project is an
industry-wide initiative involving carriers,
freight forwarders, ground handlers, shippers
and customs authorities. As of January
2013, e-freight mandates an e-AWB.
Key benefits include:
Lower costs: eliminates paper handling
and processing costs
Faster service: a reduced cycle time of 24
hours on average
Greater reliability and accuracy: one-time
electronic data entry at point of origin
Better visibility: electronic documentation
allows for online track and trace functionality
Increased security: electronic documents
are only made available to parties who
require them for the completion of a shipment
Environmentally friendly: e-freight will eliminate
more than 7,800 tons of paper documents,
the equivalent of 80 Boeing 747
freighters. This will also lead to weight reduction
on board, which in its turn leads
to less CO ² emission
How does it work and what is needed to
be e-freight enabled?
E-freight may sound difficult, but it is really easy.
It fits within our existing tools and processes.
Currently, every paper Air Waybill includes an
agreement clause which can be found on
the back side of the Air Waybill. However,
the new electronic Air Waybill can only work
if a single global agreement has been signed
with our airline partners in advance. In the
cases where there is no signed agreement,
the paper Air Waybill will be handed over as
a transport document. Please note that the
shipper of goods still needs to know the terms
of conditions for air cargo shipments according
to IATA resolution 600b (see Conditions
of contract as per reverse side of the Air Waybill).
Technical set-up, testing and rollout is
being executed through our Global Business
Process Management (BPM) and IS Team.
So far, we are doing e-freight with:
American Airlines
Air Canada
Cathay Pacific
Delta
Emirates
IAG (British Airways and Iberia)
Lufthansa Cargo
Swiss
Others, like Air France / KLM / Martinair and
United are already approached. Current IATA
project status for international and domestic
e-freight (June 2012):
42 Live countries / administrative areas
430 Live airports
2,208 Live stakeholders (airlines &
freight forwarders)
10,481 Live Trade lanes
Here you will learn what the e-freight
terms mean:
EAW: new special handling code indicating
shipment is full e-freight
On November 3, 2010, CBP and TSA began
meeting with various trade partners
to better understand business practices
and develop a mechanism to collect cargo
data as soon as possible in the supply
chain, as a security type filing. This was in
response to when the global counter-terrorism
community disrupted a potential
attack by individuals with ties to Al-Qaida
in the Arabian Peninsula/Yemen (AQAP).
AQAP attempted to conceal and ship explosive
devices in cargo on board aircraft
ultimately destined for the United States.
EAP: new special handling code indicating
partial e-freight shipment only, meaning
that some documents, that cannot be
sent with the e-pouch, are still with the
shipment
FWB: EDI message containing information
on Master Air Waybill level
FHL: EDI message containing information
on House Air Waybill level
E-pouch: electronic way of transmitting
AIR CARGO ADVANCED SCREENING (ACAS)
Melissa Portunato, Hellmann Miami
The overall objective of the ACAS pilot program
is to receive pre-departure cargo data
globally, allowing CBP and TSA to conduct a
joint security risk analysis in order to identify
potential threats to aviation. Security concerns
for identified shipments will be mitigated
through host-country intervention or TSA
implemented security screening protocols
conducted by the carrier prior to landing.
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics is taking
steps to position an entrance into the program
by late fourth quarter 2012. We are

WHO lOVES, DOESN’T SlEEp
Dr. Suzann Schmiegel-Kirschner
One of the most successful novels,
“Brother Sleep” from the author Robert
Schneider, portrays a man who, out of
love, loses his ability to sleep, and eventually
his life as a result. One aspect that
makes this book so unique and impressive
is the detail used in the depiction
of the mental and physical effects that
sleep deprivation have on the human
body. To put this into context, a complete
lack of sleep in a 24 hour period
is roughly equivalent to having a .001
blood alcohol level. The film “Sleepless
in Seattle” with Tom Hanks and Meg
Ryan refers to this very subject to which
many of us can certainly relate. The plot
of the film is based on the concept of
being sleepless in love, a “night without
sleep”, in which two people in a high
spirits, sleep only for a few hours at a
time and are able to lift the weight of
the world off its hinges.
Even so, many of us are familiar with the opposite
problem: permanent lack of sleep or
sleep disorders which influence ones sleeping
or the falling into sleep. Our lives filled with
multimedia, active daily routines from morning
to evening, stress, parenthood as well as
being a few years older, provoke disruptions
in our sleep rhythm. As a result, we feel dull,
broken, depressed, ill-tempered, and maybe
even depressed. The existence of these conditions
have been confirmed by various scientific
studies, in which results have shown that
sleep plays a vital role in the body’s capacity
to function and are not merely figments of
imagination or sensitive feelings. In our sleep
learning structures are established just as memories
saved.
A lack of sleep weakens the body´s (immune)
system, as our (defense-nerve tissue) cells
do not repair properly without sufficient rest.
The body essentially becomes more vulnerable
to bacterial infection and viruses (herpes,
fever, stomach and intestinal infections, etc.)
and even more dangerous diseases. And the
potential consequences are not limited to just
physical conditions. Psychological disorders
that may occur include burn-out and depression,
just to name a few examples.
Unfortunately, it is still considered heroic
to follow the strict sleeping schedule of only
getting by with approximately three or four
hours of sleep per night, a method that traces
back to Napoleon who was infamous for
working around the clock. People are entitled
to speculate whether Napoleon’s death at
the age of 52 may have been a result of his
haphazard sleep schedule…either way, the
amount of sleep required varies between individuals.
Most people require approximately 6
to 8 hours of rest in order to function properly.
Sleep is a dynamic process, its stages are divided
into the following phases: sleep, light
sleep, deep sleep, and dream sleep. The last
two phases, deep and dream sleep, are considered
to be the most important considering
that, after withdrawal, our body tries to catch
up on these faces.
Regardless of the reason, whether it is love,
stress, a newborn baby, or because of old age,
it is important to recognize the importance of
sleep and the impact it has on your health and
mood. Therefore it is important to ensure that
every person gets enough rest and that a lack
of sleep is regained on holidays, weekends, or
in the afternoon.
Below you will find a few tips on how to ensure
a good nights rest…
Sleeping Tips
Avoid coffee, nicotine and black or green
tea in the afternoon (these items can have
an effect that can last up to 14 hours)
Try not to eat too late at night and not
in copious quantities. If the stomach and
digestive system remain active in the evenings,
it may be difficult for the body to
achieve a relaxed state required for sleep
Before going to bed, try not to engage in
excessive sports (jogging, squash, fitnesscenter,
etc.). Your body would need too
much time to wind down
It is recommended that your mind be
equally at ease two hours before going
to bed and all exciting activities be completed
Take a warm foot bath
Massage your feet with warm sesame oil.
Wear wool socks to bed
Ventilate the bedroom with fresh air before
retiring
Eliminate any sources of light; make sure
the room is dark
Tips on how to ensure a full nights rest…
Do not sleep naked (if the temperature of
your body decreases between the hours of
2 and 6 o’clock in the morning, your body
will sense the change in temperature and
will proceed to wake up).
If possible wear pajamas with sleeves that
cover your shoulders and reduce the likelihood
of the body cooling down too quickly.
Block out any potential sources of noise.
That means sleep with the windows closed
when your bedroom borders on a busy
road or if your average sleep-time goes
beyond the morning hours in which birds
start singing.
Avoid consuming any alcohol just before
going to bed. Doing so will decrease the
amount of time necessary for you to fall
asleep and reduce the chances of any sleeping
troubles in the later hours.
Try to reduce the amount “evening rituals”
that occur at night (such as the hourly trips
to the refrigerator or bathroom. It is also
advised that you stop drinking 3 hours in
advance of going to bed, no later.
Avoid leaving lights on when you go to
bed, as your body’s “internal clock” will
assume that it is still daytime and will resist
switching into a resting phase.
Another suggested consideration, would
be for you and your spouse to sleep in
separate bedrooms if he/she snores or
moves often while sleeping. Whether you
are making this request to your spouse or
receiving it, ensure that your spouse understands
that this accommodation is in
the interest, not due to a lack, of love and
trust.
