Lift Freight Services & Arola Aduanas Y Consignaciones: joining forces in the European perishable air export market.
This years ‘Fruit Attraction’ convention in sunny Madrid, Spain, was the venue where two of our valued members joined forces and presented their shared services to the busy crowd. In order to counterbalance and being able to better compete with the big, multinational forwarders who historically control the European air export market on perishables, Arola Spain invited Lift Freight Services Amsterdam into their well-equipped and beautifully set up convention stand to talk to their clients about offering Amsterdam airport as an alternative hub for Spanish airports. This alternate hub function can specifically be of interest in busy times (harvest season for the specific Spanish produce) or for big shipments whereby the trucking rates from the growers fields in Spain up to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport are not weighing too heavily on the total door-to-airport prices. The shared capacity and attractive rates from Spanish and Dutch airports combined, gives clients big advantages in times of need.
Mr Roger Pallarés, Corporate Business Development Manager for Arola, interviewed Mr Maarten Bolten, Sales Director for Lift Freight Services on this topic and got the message across to clients and prospects present at the convention. Both Arola as well as Lift Freight are well established in the perishable cargo air export market but with this recently founded cooperation, the two companies hope to expand their business with their existing clientele as well as to generate new business.
