Handle with care

TSI Internationale Spedition und Handels GmbH, a COOP representative in Frankfurt, is part way through a project on behalf of a museum in Corning New Jersey, USA. Part one already completed last year, the most recent stage consisted of glass windows packed into seaworthy crates, as well as 15 x 40ft OT (over-height up to 340cm) and 1 x 20ft OT of airfreight.

“As I’m sure many agents will know, shipping oversize items to the USA can be a bit of a headache and of course the windows could neither be delivered too soon nor too late as this was a brand new building,” explained Uwe Schaedler, Managing Director. He continued, “So with some careful planning from our team with regards to permits in both Germany and the USA, we were able to get the timing and just right”.

With another good job under their belts, the TSI Internationale Spedition und Handels GmbH team will be handling the final part of this shipment shortly, the planning already under way.

We invite all members with shipments from or to Germany by air or ocean to get in touch with the team.

The Coop held inaugural Annual Meeting in Bangkok: 3PL News

Bangkok -141 delegates gathered for the inaugural annual meeting of The Cooperative Logistics Network (The COOP), 10th-12th May

A record number of delegates for a first conference, 141 delegates from 47 countries, made the journey to Thailand. “Considering what other networks have managed at their initial conferences, this number is a great achievement,” said Antonio Torres, the brains behind this freight forwarding network.

 

 

With a successful exclusive network already in operation, CONQUEROR FREIGHT NETWORK, Antonio Torres took the decision to launch a new capped non-exclusive network which would offer agents the same quality partners and financial security as that of an exclusive one.

“Many freight forwarders like the autonomy that a non-exclusive network brings but so often, they don’t enjoy the same financial security and quality partners as they would in an exclusive one. The COOP is different; agents get quality partners and financial security coupled with the freedom to choose who they work with,” explained Mr Torres.

The COOP is part of a new generation of networks which are empowering and mobilizing independent freight forwarders to work together as global ‘mega-forwarders.’

Coop Logistics Network holds first meet

The inaugural annual meeting of The Cooperative Logistics Network (The COOP), in mid-May saw 141 delegates from 47 countries gather in Bangkok for three days of meetings and networking. “Considering what other networks have managed at their initial conferences, this number is a great achievement,” said Antonio Torres, the key driver behind this freight forwarding network.

The COOP is part of a new generation of networks which are empowering and mobilizing independent freight forwarders to work together as global ‘mega-forwarders.’ “At the heart of The COOP is mutual cooperation,” explained Torres. “Without it, the network simply would not function.”
