Wir werden die Fähigkeiten, die Expertise und die Kultur von Monta beibehalten und weiter ausbauen, um kundenorientierte Lösungen im schnell wachsenden E-Commerce-Segment anzubieten“, sagt Oscar de Bok, CEO von DHL Supply Chain.
Die umfassende globale und europäische Präsenz von DHL sowie die Expertise in der Standardisierung und schnellen Skalierung von Logistikprozessen ergänzen Montas schlanke und agile Logistikkompetenz im E-Fulfillment für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen. Die Partnerschaft vereint das Beste aus beiden Welten. So profitieren sowohl die Kunden von DHL als auch die Bestandskunden von Monta vom Unternehmergeist Montas und der starken internationalen Expertise, Infrastruktur und dem Netzwerk von DHL Supply Chain.
„Unsere Vision ist es, unser in den Niederlanden erfolgreiches Geschäftsmodell auch grenzüberschreitend zu nutzen und so unseren Kunden beim Ausbau ihres internationalen Geschäfts zu helfen. Monta hat in letzter Zeit international expandiert, woraufhin auch mehrere Monta-Kunden bereits international expandiert haben. Die Partnerschaft beschleunigt diese Entwicklung weiter. Unseren Beschäftigten ermöglicht diese Transaktion auch, ihre langfristigen beruflichen Perspektiven zu erweitern. Wir arbeiten seit vielen Jahren mit DHL zusammen und haben festgestellt, dass wir kulturell hervorragend zueinander passen. Ich freue mich auf eine echte Partnerschaft zwischen den Teams von Monta und DHL Supply Chain“, sagt Edwin van der Ham, Eigentümer und CEO von Monta.
