EU Logistics Services
European Logistics Services
Our Multi Temperature Food Grade Warehouse in Breda is our EU Groupage Logistics Hub. Upon full trailer loads (FTL) of Ambient, Chilled & Frozen Foodstuffs arriving in Breda, they are offloaded, booked into stock and the placed in the appropriate groupage racking. Our customers can check inbound and outbound reports and organise call off and delivery to their customers via our direct email group which notifies both warehousing staff and transport team.
Once called off, pallets are planned and consolidated for both Country and Area specific to delivery address. You are notified of despatch date and estimated delivery date and time. (we can advise the consignee if this suits). Our consolidated distribution covers the whole of the EU and other non EU countries such as UK, Norway,Balkans & Turkey. We will often have to involve Customs Experts to facilitate you delivery and ensure that all paperwork is correct prior to despatch.
As your volumes grow, we have the opportunity to involve national satellite depots where we can send e.g. 10 pallets to Milan and then service your Italian market with 1-2 pallet drops within Italy.
We provide FTL (Full Trailer Loads) of Ambient Chilled & Frozen Trailer services from the UK & Ireland to Mainland Europe. We help with Health Certification & Export Clearances to provide expedited deliveries to our EU logistics service partners. Our complimentary services in Belgium & The Netherlands offer multi temperature transport, warehousing and distribution services to Major European Supermarket Groups, Wholesalers & Retailers.
Alternatives to our UK Export Services allow our customers to ship FCL (Full Container Loads into either Antwerp or Rotterdam, where clearance, inspection etc can take place prior to delivery to the relevant warehouse. Once De-stuffed part load & consolidated distribution can be organised directly to the Consignee.
All facilities are BRC Approved and provide the full range of Ambient, Chilled & Frozen Food Grade Logistics services both within the EU, up to & including Baltic, Balkans and Scandinavia.
Tempering Services from Frozen to Chilled are available from both sites. Recent services have involved circa 2k pallets per annum taken in Frozen, Tempered to chilled, labelled and despatched to supermarket groups in NL & DE
We are members of the FDEA (Food & Drink Exporters Association) https://www.ukfdea.com/ and aim to help our customers “get their goods to market” in the most cost effective and efficient way.
SCS Shipping & Logistics Services in The Netherlands
The Netherlands is one of Europe’s leading logistics providers with some of the world’s most efficient seaports that provide unparalleled access to the European Market and beyond.
Using The Netherlands as a European Logistics Hub makes a lot of sense. Whether you ship Deep Sea, use Feeder Vessels from the UK, Ireland or Near Europe, or choose multi modal options such as Rail Freight or Barge deliveries, the “Supply Chain” wrap around Logistics services provides the “Solution”
Rotterdam
The Port of Rotterdam, the largest and busiest port in Europe, is a major hub for distribution. It handles almost 15 million TEU and offers both deep sea and short sea container services, making it an ideal choice for global distribution and logistics.
The port is located 50km from our multi-temperature food-grade warehouse in Breda, which complements the internal distribution of container deliveries, de-stuffing, and EU-wide distribution.
Moerdijk
The Port of Moerdijk, is the fourth largest port and second container seaport in the Netherlands and is a multimodal hub for industry and logistics located between Rotterdam and Antwerp.
Moerdijk offers maximum freedom of choice for shortsea, barging, rail, or road transport, bringing European destinations within easy reach.
The quayside location of our warehouse allows for multi-modal delivery services to provide cost savings through minimized internal haulage costs and prompt de-stuffing and palletisation services even at peak times.
Multi Temperature Groupage Services can be organised from Moerdijk for both direct delivery or via our Breda Warehousing facility to top up.
