- New premises for subsidiary of Lufthansa Industry Solutions
- Move secures the competencies of the User Help Desk (UHD) Services unit for Lufthansa Group companies
- UHD Services employees retained in Flensburg
Norderstedt, 30 April 2021 – On May 1, 2021, Cargo Future Communications GmbH (CFC) will absorb the User Help Desk (UHD) Services business unit from IBM Deutschland Aviation Industry Workplace Services GmbH (IBM AIWS). The UHD Services unit in Flensburg will continue operations as a CFC location and will become a central service desk for IT infrastructure services within the Lufthansa Group. Through this move, the Lufthansa Industry Solutions (LHIND) subsidiary is safeguarding the jobs of around 70 employees at the business unit in Flensburg.
Christian Rothkirch, Managing Director, Cargo Future Communications: "We are very pleased to continue the success story of UHD Services in Flensburg and to welcome the new colleagues to our company. Their many years of experience and expertise in the field of UHD Services will be an asset to CFC."
UHD Services employees will maintain and service the IT devices of Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss ground staff and flight crews. Until 2015, UHD Services was part of what was then Lufthansa Systems AG, which ultimately outsourced its IT infrastructure to IBM. With UHD Services now being absorbed by CFC, its employees will again work under the Lufthansa Group umbrella in future.
Bernd Appel, Managing Director, Lufthansa Industry Solutions: “We are securing the competencies of the UHD Services unit for the Lufthansa Group and will continue to offer future prospects for the employees in Flensburg. At the same time, the acquisition is a valuable extension of the existing business unit of Cargo Future Communications.”
CFC offers services in the fields of sales support, customer care and business process outsourcing (BPO), particularly to companies in the aviation industry. It also serves customers in the financial sector, public sector, industry and the IT sector.
