Martin Bencher expands in Australia

   The Martin Bencher Group, a Denmark-based freight forwarder, has opened a new office in Sydney, Australia.
   Josefin Ahlgren will manage the office. She has been with the company for over seven years, during which time she has opened and managed Martin Bencher´s office in Stockholm, Sweden, and recently served as quality manager.
   “Martin Bencher has a number of active customers already in Australia – in order to service them in the best way possible, we have decided to take a natural step and establish our own office in Sydney,” said Peter Thorsoe Jensen, chief executive officer, in a statement. “We also expect that this initiative will have a great positive effect on the rest of the Martin Bencher network worldwide.”
