In the UK we celebrated wonderful and peaceful Olympic Games with a fantastic atmosphere all visitors enjoyed. Well, many <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> course there is no stand-still in our company. We are about to open our own <strong>of</strong>fice in Tanzania, the 4 th ‘<strong>Hellmann</strong> country’ on the African continent, after the previous owners sold us 100 percent <strong>of</strong> their shares. Tanzania is important, it is a major gateway into the landlocked countries <strong>of</strong> Central Africa and it will <strong>have</strong> a positive impact on our development there. The German economy is still growing, but many countries in Europe are struggling. Some <strong>of</strong> our <strong>of</strong>fices <strong>have</strong> to work hard to stay within budget and it will take a united effort <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> oil and commodities. They are challenging markets but well worth for us to look closer into it. Jost <strong>Hellmann</strong> Klaus <strong>Hellmann</strong> As you will read in this latest edition <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> interesting articles, as usual, in our Partner Magazine and we both encourage you to make use <strong>of</strong> it yourself. Write about interesting events, hobbies, happenings, and it does not need to be business related. This is a magazine from the <strong>Hellmann</strong> team for the <strong>Hellmann</strong> team and should continue to be interesting for everyone to read and enjoy. We are now well into the 2 nd half <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> us and the entire management appreciates your dedication and commitment for our companies worldwide. We thank you and remain with best regards and wishes, partner 02/12
