Foundation

In 1935 Ferdinand Hilgers founded the company for freight forwarding, storage and road transport in Monheim and successfully managed it until his death in 1945. After the Second World War Josef Heuser, second husband of Wilhelmine Hilgers, rebuilt the company at the same location, established it in the German economic miracle and led it successfully through the difficult 70s of the 20th century.

In 1984 he handed over the management to his son, Ferdinand Hilgers jun. For 22 years he transformed and enlarged the company, until 2006 when his son Ferdi Hilgers took over the management.

New times
Hilgers Transport is still today a grown, established and successfully operating logistics company and has been a subsidiary of the Schwarzer Group, Steinfeld since 01.01.20.
