Catapult opens Hamburg office

   In response to increased demand from Europe, logistics software provider Catapult International has opened an office in Hamburg, Germany.
   This expansion complements Catapult’s other offices located throughout the world. In addition to Hamburg and its Kansas City headquarters, the firm now has locations in Cebu, Philippines; Hong Kong; and San Francisco.
   “Growth and the ability to provide the needed support to our clients in Europe are vital and continue to be a large and growing market for Catapult,” said Matt Motsick, Catapult’s chief executive officer, in a statement. “Having a presence in a maritime city like Hamburg helps us reach out to a broad range of freight forwarders, shippers, and ocean carriers.”
