English translation:Deliveries to other sites of the company are handled by its own subsidiary NAME.
Explanation:
"Handgesellschaft" is fishy, that term does not exist (check with an advanced search in Google limited to German). Could bne "Handelsgesellschft" (trading company), otherwise freight forwarder = Transportgesellschft.

agree  Beth Kantus: "its own distributor" instead of subsidiary?
2 hrs
  -> Often the business is part of the NAME e.g. "ACE Freight" important here: company within the company
