The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light many deficiencies in all societies world-wide, but it has also shown the importance of many sectors in the world. Logistics has emerged as one of the most important business to overcome the pandemic, either by the supply of medical equipment, basic goods or even all the online purchases during the lockdown. Although the pandemic has shown what an important component logistics is for society, it has also exposed its weaknesses’ and the need for profound changes in the industry. Before the pandemic, the economic incentives stemming from globalization, were already pushing logistics to a digitalized form, but social distancing or online working are making such a transformation even more necessary.

Totalplan Porto, a Coop member in Porto, Portugal, has garnered the PME Excellence 2019 status presented by IAPMEI (Portuguese Governmental Institute for Small and Medium-sized Companies) in partnership with the major banks of Portugal. As said by Alvaro Barbosa, Managing Director of the Totalplan Porto “After being awarded for two consecutive years with the PME Leader Status, for the first time in 2019 we managed to become a part of the small group of PME Excellence.”
“We are very proud of this status that reflects our company’s efforts, dedication and high standards. Totalplan Porto would like to thank all our clients, partners, suppliers, and staff whose continuous support made possible this achievement.” adds Mr. Barbosa.
To quote Mr. Radoslaw Januszczak, the Network Development Manager of C Hartwig, “This storage facility will meet all the requirements for storage of goods coming under the control of sanitary and veterinary authorities and will also follow a GMP + procedure. Our new 4 storeyed facility is equipped with high storage racks, 8 unloaded gates for cross-docking, and 1 special gate which allows us to move cargo from the warehouse and load it onto the vehicles from the side.”
As explained by Mr. Donny Hamelink, the Sales Manager of Aircargo.nl, “We are specialized in airfreight with time-critical and temperature control requirements and our main focus has always been perishables. Adding the Pharma product to our portfolio, therefore, makes sense because the same dedication and accurate handling procedures are required.”
