Simple, for me it is about the people. Hellmann gives me the opportunity to connect with people, expand my network and get in touch with the biggest players in Europe.

Alexander, could you sum up in a few sentences what working at Hellmann means to you?
Hellmann gives me the possibility to be successful in a very special industry. It is cool to have the chance to speak with the biggest companies in Europe, it also gives me the chance to tell my parents about transports which we did and how we possible made it possible that a Motorcycle Driver was on the start on Saturdays race with a new engine, just because we delivered again in time. I am proud that the management allows me to be a part of this team. I’m loving it.
