Belgrade, 25 September 2017-Ralu Srbija has established cooperation with Nagel-Group
Belgrade, 25 September 2017 - RALU Srbija, a company specializing in the cold chain logistics, has established cooperation with one of the largest Western European cold chain logistics companies – Nagel-Group, thus becoming a part of this company’s European branch network. By using the existing infrastructure, both companies work on the expansion of the LTL network from Europe towards the Balkans and from the Balkans towards the European countries. This enables the Nagel Group clients to sell and transport their goods in the territory of the Balkans, while RALU can provide the same service to its customers. This cooperation includes the delivery of temperature-controlled collective shipments from Western Europe towards Serbia, after which the delivery of goods is made throughout Serbia within 24 hours via the existing cross dock platforms.
“Having launched the cooperation with Nagel-Group we are able to provide a high-level service to our customers in the segment of collective and partial shipments of temperature-controlled goods, through the use of the large network od Nagel distribution and cross dock centres in the territory of the entire Europe. This enables us to provide greater opportunities and better solutions, supply chain optimization through reduced transportation costs and acceptable transit times. Also, within our company, we provide the complete (integrated) logistics service in the cold chain segment, by engaging all available capacities – international transport, customs brokerage services, warehousing and distribution to end customers. In this way we provide the rapid, efficient and cost-effective solution to our customers and we build a reputation of a quality and reliable partner which is definitely an incentive for the provision of new and specific services. In the future period we will continue to be a leader in the introduction of trends in the region, and in that way we will continuously prove ourselves as the company which provides the best possible one-stop logistics solution” said Vladimir Milosavljević, Director of RALU Srbija.
Through this partnership Nagel-Group expands the area covered by the unique network of temperature-controlled regime for food products.
“Thanks to the cooperation with Ralu Logistika, we can offer to our customers in Serbia the service which is based on the same quality standards and reliability criteria which the Nagel-Group network customers are already familiar with” said Thomas Pütter, Head of Corporate Operational Process Design & Systems Department in Nagel-Group. “For us, this cooperation represents further building of our mission to become a link in the food industry in Europe, or as our slogan says - Connecting the world of food®”
In order to further improve the services, Ralu Logistika has expanded its rolling stock by including the new Mercedes delivery vehicles, equipped with the state-of-the-art technology. This is a combination of Mercedes trucks of Atego brand, the vehicles which have already proved themselves on the European roads and represent the right solution for the distribution transport, as well as the Lamberet’s isolated chambers and refrigerating devices of Carrier Transicolda, thus creating a top-quality delivery vehicle for the transport of goods in temperature controlled conditions ranging from -30 to +30 °C.
