DHL’s three-way partnership expands perishables solution
DHL Global Forwarding is partnering with Interstate Transport and Trans World Forwarding to offer customers a complete perishable supply chain solution from the point of consolidation at origin in Central and South America to final destination in North America. This unique partnership will provide temperature-controlled trucking for perishables coming in by air or ocean. Interstate will take control of the perishable freight at the DHL gateway in Miami and ensure prompt temperature-controlled delivery for all points in North America. Trans World Forwarding will act as DHL Global Forwarding’s preferred provider in charge of receiving cargo from the airport and seaport and then handling and processing the shipment until it is ready for transportation according to the customer’s requirements. Trans World’s services will include customs clearance, inspections, storage, consolidations, pallet breakdown, cross-docking, and direct delivery to importers in the Miami area. The partnership gives DHL Global Forwarding access to Trans World’s 270,000 sq.ft cooler with capacity to hold 27,000 skids/pallets. "This three-way partnership allows us to provide customers a service that no one else in the market can offer: one process, one contact, and one bill, no matter where their perishable purchases originate across Central or South America," said Samuel Israel, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding Latin America.
