Project HANSE

Nachfolgeregelung – Deutschland

Description

The family business, which has positioned itself within the industry as a leading trading and service company, is characterized primarily by the approximately 15 employees with a broad “know-how” in connection with the services offered. Especially in Northern Germany, the company has gained a significant role through the cross-generational expertise.
