JF Hillebrand expands European multi-modal options
JF Hillebrand has launched European Transport Solutions, an expanded distribution network tailored to the needs of the European wine market. Offering more routes across more countries, European Transport Solutions provides a wider range of continental transport options, including services by road, rail, barge and coastal shipping. According to Hillebrand’s European transport manager, Guido Roth, the new European Transport Solutions network enhances and extends the company’s existing intra-European services, offering customers across the continent the full range of logistics services. This includes the highest security standards, the use of VinLiners to protect wine consignments against temperature fluctuations and other potential hazards, and expert handling of all legal and fiscal formalities. The multimodal portfolio and range of service options – including FTL and smaller LTL consignments – gives customers greater flexibility to better manage their carbon footprint and cost effectively transport what they need, when they need it. All movements are supported by JF Hillebrand’s online logistics management system, Axis. With 45 offices around the world, JF Hillebrand reported a throughput of more than 268,000 containers in 2009 – equating to more than 1.4 billion cases of wine. Quelle: eyefortransport |
