Horizon today announced the opening of a Branch in Paris, France. The Company currently operates in the Americas but has ambitions to expand its total logistics operating model globally. Says Per Folkesson, Group CEO: “As a Group and since we have a global ambition for our business, this is a natural step for us to take. Some of our current customer bases are headquartered in Europe and we need to be closer to them, and of course we are equally very interested in new opportunities on the European continent. The European office can as well function as a bridge towards other neighboring continents”. The Company has appointed Manuela Sageot-Chomel as their Commercial Representative. Manuela worked between 2011 and 2014 for the Group based in Panama. She then relocated to Europe in 2017 working within automotive logistics. Per continues: “In Manuela we have a very capable colleague whom we know from the past, we are very excited for this development”. Manuela says: “I am thrilled to rejoin the team. What differentiates Horizon is the ability to innovate the automotive supply chain, thanks to a combination of outstanding human capital and state of the art technology. In times of disruption, challenges become opportunities and I believe Europe is the place to broaden the horizon".
