Switching into seventh gear

Earlier this month forwarding and delivery-services company Apreo Logistics opened a new shipment center in the Business Center office building in Skierniewice. The new office provides the company with a strategic location near the road linking two main Polish routes: the Silesia-Warsaw route and the Poznań-Warsaw route.

"The new office's location in Skierniewice, in the center of the Mazowsze voivodship, will speed up and improve the realization of orders, which will result in a larger number of shipments," said Arkadiusz Glinka, managing director of Apreo Logistics. "As specialists in the logistics sector, we realize the importance of location with regard to the quality of service and timeliness in serving our clients," he added. The company has also implemented streamlined payment and accounting systems, along with consolidated services to cut costs. The company also plans to assist clients in securing loans for vehicle purchases, along with providing driver education programs.

The company already boasts subsidiaries in Warsaw, Gdynia, Zielona Góra, Rzeszów, Tychy and Radomsko. The company's development strategy envisions enlarging the number and capacity of its subsidiaries.

Apreo Logistics has been active on the Polish market since it took over the forwarding operations of Vos Logistics Polska, a Polish leader in the logistics sector in the country and throughout Europe, in June 2007. Apreo has 500 trucks, each with a load capacity up to 24 tonnes. Aside from managing shipments, Apreo also offers warehousing and customs services.
