trans-o-flex supports relief organisations with shipments to Ukraine
- In Germany, Expressdienst customers provide medicines and other supplies urgently needed in the war zone
- More than 200 pallets of relief supplies collected in Germany
- Thank you video shows the consignments arriving in Kiev
With free collection, consolidation and shipments, trans-o-flex’s Expressdienst has been supporting extensive relief efforts for the people in Ukraine in recent weeks. A video in which the recipients express their gratitude in Ukrainian shows the packages of medicines transported by trans-o-flex, as well as mattresses, beds and other relief supplies, which have since arrived at a hospital in Kiev.
trans-o-flex had asked customers for donations and repeatedly collected supplies that are urgently needed in Ukraine. More than 200 pallets of supplies have been brought to collection points in Germany in consultation with aid organisations. In some cases, trans-o-flex partners and carriers drove the supplies all the way to the Polish-Ukrainian border. "We are experiencing a broad wave of solidarity among customers, employees and partners for the Ukrainians suffering under the Russian aggression," says trans-o-flex CEO Wolfgang P. Albeck. "In this difficult situation, it is encouraging that we, as a logistics company in particular, can make a contribution."
trans-o-flex’s core areas of expertise are logistics solutions for the healthcare, cosmetics and consumer electronics industries and other high-end, sensitive goods. The company has built up transport networks to carry goods throughout Germany and Austria at 15 to 25 degrees Celsius or 2 to 8 degrees Celsius actively temperature-controlled and documented in accordance with EU regulations for healthcare transport. These EU-GDPs require the highest standards for safety and security, cleanliness, reliability and transparency, from which all trans-o-flex customers benefit. trans-o-flex operates internationally via the networks EUROTEMP (temperature-controlled logistics) and EURODIS (in 36 European countries). In contrast to parcel and groupage services, trans-o-flex delivers parcels and pallets on a consolidated basis. trans-o-flex Express offers numerous express and time-slot deliveries, special services such as hazardous goods transportation (without minimum quantity regulation), consignment consolidation and direct deliveries. The range of services is complemented by warehousing, order picking and individual value-added services such as serialisation and deserialisation of pharmaceuticals. This means that the company covers the entire logistics chain from procurement through to fulfilment. The annual turnover of the trans-o-flex companies, which employ a total of around 1,954 people (FTEs, end of 2020), amounted to around 515 million euros in 2020.
