This move is also driven by a clear customer demand to re-engage in<br \/>steel and bagged cargo trades. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are excited to welcome Wesley and Renzo and to re-establish our presence in<br \/>the parcelling business. Their experience fits well with our strategy of<br \/>building a diversified commercial platform, where specialist teams benefit from<br \/>the scale and reach of Western Bulk,&#8221; says Torbj\u00f8rn Gjervik, CEO of Western<br \/>Bulk.<\/p>\n<p>The team will also collaborate closely with the Lumber &amp; Projects team in<br \/>Bergen, with clear opportunities for commercial synergies in the European<br \/>market.
