Rotterdam, April 2nd 2025 – HES International, one of Europe's largest independent bulk handling companies for liquid, dry, and breakbulk products, is proud to announce, as of April 2nd 2025, the rebranding of Europees Massagoed-Overslagbedrijf (EMO) B.V. and European Bulk Services (E.B.S) B.V. Moving forward, EMO will be known as HES Bulk Terminal Rotterdam (HBTR), while E.B.S will be known as HES Bulk Terminal Maasdelta (HBTM).
This rebranding marks the final step in the company’s comprehensive strategy to align all its terminals under the HES International brand, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and even better recognition in the market, as part of the ONE HES program. The name change reflects HES International’s vision of creating an integrated network of bulk terminals, offering customers enhanced service and streamlined operations under a single, trusted name.
Paul van Gelder, CEO of HES International, commented on the rebranding:
“With this rebranding, we complete the transition of all terminals under the HES International name, solidifying our position as a unified and future-focused bulk terminal operator. This move underscores our commitment to delivering operational excellence across all our locations while fostering a strong and recognizable brand presence.”
The VAT and trade register numbers for both terminals will remain the same, ensuring a smooth transition with no administrative impact on business relationships.
