As service providers of this niche market, perishable cargo specialists have been relatively secure from the expansion and service extensions of multi-national forwarders and integrators. Nevertheless, multi-nationals are emerging despite the many difficulties involved in the perishable industry and the need for specialised knowledge.

Forwarders, then, need to evolve alongside demands for a global logistics service by ensuring that exporters/producers can value-add their product. This can be achieved by offering portion control and packaging for supermarket-shelves. Without having secured, global, specialist logistics partners who have excellent facilities, are strong in their own market and are well established, any attempt to create a value-added service will fail.

Undoubtedly, companies highly experienced in perishable forwarding have also recognized this.

Consequently, the Global Perishable Logistics Group believe that it is necessary to offer a truly worldwide logistics service comprised of pre-existing freight forwarders based on experience and reliability.

A conglomeration of industry leaders under the one name means a force to be reckoned with. Brought together, the Global Perishable Logistics Group continues to develop and offer services not currently available; essentially, a quality temperature controlled logistics and distribution chain.

There has been no limit to the enormous interest shown in this initiative and the GPLG is still evolving. If the Global Perishable Logistics Group interests you contact us to apply for membership or to receive more information.
