Westar Internationale launches a new consolidation service in cooperation with a Coop partner

Posted on 27 October, 2023 | by admin

After attending The Coop’s 6th Annual Meeting at Phuket, they teamed up with FEI Cargo to finalize all the details of this new consolidation service from India to Germany

Westar Internationale Spedition GMBH, a Coop member in Duesseldorf, Germany, and Pittsburgh, USA, recently started a consolidation service from India to Remscheid, Germany in cooperation with FEI Cargo, a Coop member in Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore, India. “The preparation took a long time and was delayed by Coronavirus. However, this year Coop’s face-to-face meeting in Phuket has contributed to clarify the last performance details. All in all the initial phase is done and the service has been running successfully for several months,” says Juergen Ott, Managing Director of Westar Internationale.

Westar International - The Cooperative — Westar International – The Cooperative

This is already the second consolidation service which they set up with a Coop member. In 2019, few months after joining The Cooperative, and after attending the annual meeting in Abu Dhabi, they started consolidation service from Shenzhen to Remscheid in cooperation with a network member.

Westar excels in LCL Ocean Consolidation Services from China & Taiwan to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with a distinct focus on handling the shipments at its destination ports. “One of the key differentiators of our services lies in our destination handling approach. Unlike many shipments destined for Germany, which are typically booked with co-loaders with port destinations, our customized LCL ocean consolidation services offer a more efficient and flexible solution,” adds Mr. Ott.

Traditional procedures can be time-consuming and lack flexibility, whereas their specialized LCL ocean consolidation services prioritize seamless transfer of containers from the port to their warehouses. When containers arrive in the port, they execute a direct transfer under bond to their two strategically located warehouses in Remscheid, Western Germany, in close proximity to Duesseldorf and Cologne. The unloading is efficiently handled by their dedicated in-house staff.

Congratulations to Westar Internationale on their successful collaboration and all the best for their upcoming endeavours!
