Comprehensive European coverage stretching from Malaga to Moscow is being offered to customers through a new partnership between Transmec Group and Eurogate Logistics.
Combining both companies’ road and rail transport networks, the relationship will establish a streamlined service for businesses looking to move goods throughout Europe and further afield.
Transmec Group is particularly strong in western and south-eastern Europe whilst Eurogate specialises in freight transport to and from central Europe and Russia.
“Our geographical coverage dovetails perfectly, enabling us to offer customers a complete service at highly-competitive rates,” said John Simkins, general manager of Transmec UK.
Between them Transmec Group and Eurogate Logistics have 50 offices throughout the continent, including Istanbul, Budapest, Bratislava, Warsaw, Moscow and the Russian city of Samara, a gateway to central Asia.
The partnership follows a successful collaboration in Romania where Transmec is the receiving partner for goods carried by Eurogate Logistics, a specialist freight forwarder with headquarters in London.
In addition to road and rail, both companies offer air and sea freight services as well as warehousing.
Adam Nagy, managing director of Eurogate Logistics, said: “The partnership is a win-win situation for customers. Not only will they reap the rewards of our expanded geographical coverage, but they will also benefit from our combined expertise and our ‘can-do’ attitude.”
With headquarters in Italy, Transmec Group has a 300-strong European fleet, employs 900 people and has a turnover of 400 million euros. Its UK operation which has depots in Redditch, Bradford and West Thurrock, employs 150 people and has a turnover of £30 million.
Established in 1990, Eurogate Logistics employs 175 people across a network of 19 offices and has a turnover of 65 million euros.
