”In the region of Szczecin there is a visible increase of economic activity which is a result of the city’s vicinity to the German border and Scandinavia. Therefore, it seems to be a necessity to develop the logistics branch in Szczecin to service shipments from the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship). Many logistics companies, not only from Poland, but also from Western Europe, open here their branches to render warehousing services. However, it is us who may boast of the most modern complex in the region. Its innovativeness translates into the quality of services and benefits for the customers as it optimizes processes and ensures even greater security of goods” – comments Janusz Anioł, General Director of Raben Polska. “The care of customer’s satisfaction with the level of rendered services is a part of Raben Group’s strategy. The new complex confirms our reliability on the local market, makes it possible to realize orders in more comfortable conditions with European standards of quality and safety. It is undoubtedly a chance for us for better performance and further development. We focus on using the assets of our location, good infrastructure (transportation system) in the country and the vicinity of the West – adds Jacek Wojciechowski, Branch Manager at Raben Polska.Since over a decade Fresh Logistics, which is a part of Raben Group, has rendered logistics services to customers of Szczecin and the whole West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Opening a branch in Szczecin is a natural consequence of our development and the further step in the strategic plan for the next years. Vital is the fact that the new location makes it possible for us to be closer to our customers and, as a result, offer them more comprehensive services, even better adjusted to our business partners’ needs.” – sums up Łukasz Hofman, Branch Manager at Fresh Logistics.Raben Group, including the branch in Szczecin, renders services to small, medium-sized and big companies supporting local business logistically.
