GLOBALIA Logistics Network, the exclusive network of the highest calibre freight forwarders, was launched just over 8 months ago and has already reached a membership coverage of 101 countries.

“We are very proud of this significant upsurge, since the network only began operations last December. This fact is even more impressive when you consider that for every 100 applications we receive, just 10 are accepted. This is because all our members need to pass our very tough selection process, including an audit by third party auditor DUN & BRADSTREET before acceptance.” said Antonio Torres, Manager of GLOBALIA Logistics Network.

Currently the network has coverage in 130 cities, whose members collectively employ around 4,300 people. “Our predictions are very optimistic for the coming year, we are expecting to grow at the same rate in order to extend our coverage worldwide”. Antonio Torres continues.

GLOBALIA Logistics Network has already scheduled its 2nd Annual Meeting for the 9th to 11th May 2018 in Bali, Indonesia. ”We believe that the Annual Meeting we organise every year is the best benefit of membership. It is the perfect platform for members to promote their businesses internationally, do deals and establish long-term partnerships”, Antonio Torres added.

Interview with Globalia Geneva

Getting to know Multi-Douane Services

MULTI-DOUANE SERVICES is one the Globalia’s Founding Members and represents the network in Geneva. MULTI-DOUANE SERVICES was founded in 2001 by Gérard Doutaz, a specialist in customs and former forwarder since 1981. Specialised in customs clearances of living animals and vegetables subjected to the new rules of imports, Multi-Doune Services offers a fast service of deliveries for Geneva and all of Switzerland. Today we have sat down with Gérard Doutaz, Managing Director of MULTI-DOUNE SERVICES, to find out more about their successes and challenges

Q. When and how did you get into the freight forwarding industry?
A. I began working as a freight forwarder in 1981 in Vevey, Switzerland. In 1984 I then went to train and gain further experience by working in several companies in Geneva.
 
Q. Can you tell us a little of the history of Multi-Douane Services?
A. In 1988 I created my first company, which I ran until 2000. In 2001 Multi-Douane Services was launched, which has gone from strength to strength to this day.
 
Q. What distinguishes Multi-Douane from other freight forwarders in your city? 
A. From the outset, Multi-Douane Services has been a customs agency specialising in importing mainly for freight forwarders in Switzerland. However, over the years we have also developed export and international transport, which is why we joined GLOBALIA this year.
 
Q. What would be the most significant shipment your team has handled?
A. Well, one our specialisations is importing live animals, as we are approved by the Swiss Veterinary Office – we are one of the only ones at Geneva airport who are, in fact. We once imported a Komodo dragon for a zoo (photo) as well as group of dogs from Romania (photo).
 

Q. What challenges do you foresee in the near future?
A. Currently we are developing a customs service for luxury vehicles, so we are looking forward to all the challenges this area will bring.

 Q. Where do you see Multi-Douane in 10 years?
A. To answer your question, you know, in 10 years I will be retired! However, I have every confidence that my successors will be managing the company and building on our legacy.

freight forwarderOur GLOBALIA member in Sydney has been stocking up dangerous goods in its storage site since 2014

Since their inception in 2002, GLOBALIA Sydney – Paul’s Customs & Forwarding Solutions has grown and evolved to become one of Australia’s leading boutique logistics providers, specialising in total fulfilment solutions.

Based in Botany, New South Wales, and within 1km of Australia’s largest sea and air ports, PCFS operates a 5000sqm bonded warehouse facility, along with an extensive fleet of company-owned vehicles.

PCFS is D.G-licensed to store Class 2, 3, 5, 6 & 8 as packaged products.

By deploying leading technology and facilities, PCFS is able to handle dangerous goods and material for the following classes:

freight forwarder

“This is a value-added service we offer our customers who don’t operate their own warehouse facilities, and who choose to use our 3PL D.G handling services as a distribution arm of their own operations” says Paul Petrovski, Managing Director.

However, this is not an easy task that just any agent can handle, it requires professionalism and especially attentive service. “We need to follow strict guidelines for labelling and documentation in accordance with Australian and international standards. Regulatory audits are conducted on a quarterly basis to ensure compliance across all of our designated categories”, Paul Petrovski adds.

PCFS hold stock on a daily basis for their customers, one such stock being pool chlorine. Held as overflow for their client’s warehouse, the chlorine is class 5.1 and packaged in 10kg pails, at approximately 78 – 80 pails per pallet. An especially large volume of the product is stored coming into spring/summer, as you might expect.

GLB Copenhagen/Odense is 3-time winner of The Gazelle Award

Posted on | by admin

This prize recognises businesses which more than double their revenue or gross profit in period of 4 years

We would like to congratulate YOYO Global Freight, as a 3 time winner of the Gazelle Award.international logistics

The Gazelle awards were launched by The Daily Børsen (the equivalent of The Financial Times in Denmark) in 1995 in a bid to identify Denmark’s growth elite. This prize recognises businesses which more than double their revenue or gross profit in a period of 4 years. During the selection process, very strict criteria are applied to the more than 760,000 registered companies in Denmark. The demands on activity and corporate form, profitability and continuous growth reduced the number of candidates to a mere 6,000 companies, of which less than 1,800 achieved more than 100% growth in 2016.

YOYO has been awarded Gazelle recognition in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and they are well on their way to qualifying for a fourth year in a row. A big congratulations to the team!

Due to this growth, the number of staff has also increased, with YOYO now planning to move to their new headquarters, which will be ready by summer 2018.
