Europa to be sole agent for CargoLine groupage
[ November 15, 2017 // Chris ]Europa Road has been appointed sole UK representative for the CargoLine groupage service.
CargoLine offers systemised groupage transportation, as well as distribution, procurement and contract logistics through a network of more than 80 partners in 43 countries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. In addition to its 1,583 direct lines in Germany and across Europe, it operates three hubs in Germany including a central hub near Fulda.
Europa will operate a five times per week connection to and from the Fulda hub and will also receive CargoLine consignments to distribute in the UK, as well as acting as a gateway for export consignments into the hub, either for Germany, or further afield.
Europa’s operations director, Dan Cook, said: “CargoLine is a hugely respected and credible independent network, and includes some heavyweight organisations through Europe. Our participation is a reflection of the standing Europa has on the European stage.”
CargoLine managing director, Bernd Höppner, added: “As a long-standing groupage partner of some of CargoLine’s member companies, Europa has made a name for itself as a strong and reliable partner that has a promising future. We are pleased to turn these bilateral business relationships into a CargoLine-wide one and make Europa our sole representative in the UK.”
Europa says the relationship with CargoLine will further strengthen the reliability of its general groupage product and allow services such as time specific deliveries or evening deliveries.
