The need of the vehicles for the transports to and from Scandinavia increased. And accordingly, different special trailers were purchased together with the company "ES-GE Nutzfahrzeuge/Essen". |
|
|
1993 |
The quantity of the trailers grew up to 10 units and it was just necessary to move to Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, Neuhöfer Damm.
We have here everything in our disposal:
- direct connection with the port Hamburg
- enough place for the trailers and other technik
- office space – approx. 150qm
- maintenance shop
3-axle tractor MAN and 4-axle low bed Scheuerle were purchased for the branch office in Dresden. |

The further partnership was built with Finland and the first transports went via Finland to Russia. Besides, it wasn´t more enough to use sub-carriers for the trucking of our own fleet. And accordingly, we purchased our own tractors and employed 3 drivers. Roland Eckart, Klaus Luzius, Reinhard Krüger and in a short time Eberhardt Böttcher began their work. |
|
|
1997 |
The activities of SSH expanded greatly, especially
in such directions as East Europe and Russia. The personal
visit in Klaipeda/Lithuania helped to ground the further contacts.
The aim of this visit was to send our trailers via Baltic
See with their following trucking by the local carriers to
the unloading places. We closed our branch office in Dresden.3-axle
tractor MAN and the lowbed trailer are in Hamburg now. |

|
1999 |
The west direction was also very important,
and it was decided to organize the branch office in Bochum.
Andreas Grünewald is the head of the office and is supported
by Carsten Fitzek. Udo Hornig entered the company in Hamburg
and joined the team successfully.Werner Wünsch is our
new driver and gets his brandnew MAN 3 axle truck with lifting
cran ! |

The next step was to make a contact with Liepaja/Latvia and St.Petersburg. In that year it was arranged the direct ferry-line to Russia, and we could built stable relations with a solvent partner in St.Petersburg. |

Our fleet was expanding continuously, and
now it consists of 8 tractors, 25 trailers and 3 escort cars.
We have 18 employers! The first calender with the young growth
Felix Bachmann appeared and all clients and colleagues were
excited. |
|
|
2002- 2004 |
The international transports were increasing – we had to use our own technik more and more. Our own maintenance hall was built. |
|
|

Since that year our tractor No. 9 is on duty! Günter Heinz is in our company now. Oxana Hornig enters SSH and is occupied with russian correspondence. |
