transport logistic is one of the world’s leading trade fairs for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management which takes place every 2 years in Munich, Germany

Kopf & Lübben GmbH, a Coop member in Bremen, Hamburg and Frankfurt, Germany, is making preparations for their exhibition to be held at the transport logistic fair in Munich on 4^th-7^th June, 2019. “Besides marketing our brand, our focus will be on promoting our extensive know-how and experience of rail freight between China and Europe. The new Silk Road is a challenge to air and ocean carriers with additional rail routes being added on a regular basis,” says Thomas Manigk, Managing Director of Kopf & Lübben.

“The land route through central Asia offers a far shorter transit time compared to ocean freight and is substantially cheaper than air freight. Moreover, rail services cut carbon emissions substantially, which is an important aspect to many of our customers”, he adds.

The fair which is one of the leading logistics and supply chain fairs in the world will welcome over 60,000 visitors from across 120 countries. Mr. Manigk further continues, “transport logistic is an excellent platform to network, deepen the existing relations and forge new relationships as well as to catch up on key developments in the global logistics industry. Members of the Coop family are invited to make contact with the Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services team in hall B 3, stand no. 209/310.”

Alphatrans ventures into wildlife logistics and moves 4 lions from Ukraine to a national park in South Africa

Posted on 29 March, 2019 | by admin

The animals were rescued from a privately owned zoo in Ukraine where they were living in totally unclean conditions

Alphatrans Ltd, a Cooperative member in Odessa, Ukraine, moved three rescued lionesses from a private zoo in Ukraine to their natural habitat in the Kragga Kamma Game Park in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The three lionesses called Luca, Charles and Kai, were living in squalid conditions in a 35 square meter steel cage without any sunlight or fresh air. The 2 months old lion cub called Nathan was rescued from a cruel circus trainer in Ukraine who meant to sell it off to a private zoo or circus.

“All the animals were rescued by Lionel de Lange of The Lawrence Anthony Earth Organisation (LAEO) branch in Ukraine who built a temporary shelter of 280 square meters for the animals before preparing to move them to their permanent home in the forests of South Africa,” says Mr. Dimitriy Balaban, the Managing Director of Alphatrans.

All the lions were vaccinated, documented and chipped before being granted the CITES export certificate so that they could be moved to South Africa. Alphatrans arranged for shipment by air within the shortest possible transit time and under constant surveillance of veterinarians. Mr. Balaban added, “This had been a very special shipment for us and our team has once again proved that we can move anything and everything no matter if it is a project cargo or a shipment consisting of lions! We are really delighted that we could bring the lions safely back to their home in South Africa,”

Congratulations to Alphatrans for moving this extraordinary cargo!

The Coop’s 5th Annual Meeting breaks the attendance record for the 2nd consecutive time

Posted on 13 March, 2019 | by admin

More than 185 freight forwarders met at Abu Dhabi, UAE, from the 9th-11th March, 2019

During the meeting, all Coop members were given a demonstration of FreightViewer, a member-exclusive freight rate management software which will change the manual quotation generation process

The Coop’s 5th Annual Meeting which was held from 9th to 11th March at the Intercontinental Hotel in Abu Dhabi, UAE, brought together more than 185 attendees from more than 90 cities and 60 countries across the world under one roof, recording the highest attendance ever. The meeting provided an ideal platform for members to consolidate relationships with their network partners and work towards obtaining many more collaborative projects in the months to come.

“We are delighted with the success of the Coop’s 5th Annual Meeting which has reached a new attendance record. One of the reasons for this increase in attendance is that our network has expanded considerably since our last meeting in March and is presently covering 50 more cities,” states Antonio Torres, the President and Founder of Cooperative Logistics Network.

Agents took part in numerous one-to-one meetings with their fellow members in the course of the 2 days of meeting, where they met their partners face to face, made their businesses known and secured many lucrative deals. However, the Annual Meeting wasn’t just about business discussions. The members were treated to a scrumptious dinner at the Byblos Sur Mer restaurant where they had a gala time over food, drinks, and music.

“By bringing together hundreds of independent freight forwarders representing every major seaport and airport worldwide, we have been able to promote a sense of trust and bonding within our network, which obviously has a positive impact on the number of concerted projects,” says Antonio Torres.

This year the members were given a personal demonstration of Coop’s upcoming online tool, FreightViewer- a freight rate management software which will allow the members to create instant online quotations of their door-to-door services for their clients and partners.

As stated by one of the attending members, “The Annual Meeting is an ideal platform for us to get acquainted with fellow forwarders from all over the world. The meeting allowed us to showcase the strong points of our respective companies and helped us secure new projects from our partners within the network. All in all, it had been a wonderful and highly productive experience,”

All set for The Coop’s 5th Annual Meeting at Abu Dhabi!

Posted on 8 March, 2019 | by admin

Over 185 Coop members from all around the world are getting ready to fly to Abu Dhabi to attend The Coop’s 5th Annual Meeting at the Intercontinental Hotel

The Cooperative’s 5th Annual Meeting at Abu Dhabi, UAE will be held from the 9th -11th of March, 2019, at the Intercontinental Abu Dhabi. The meeting will bring together all the members under one roof and allow them to acquaint themselves with their network partners while promoting their businesses and making way for numerous collaborative projects in the future.

The delegates have already scheduled their one-to-one meetings with preferred members within the network, where they will have candid business talks with their network partners while discussing the prospect of collaboration in the coming months. The highlight of this year’s meeting will include a personal demonstration of The Coop’s new online tool FreightViewer which will relieve the agents from the strenuous task of quote preparation and allow them to come up with an accurate and professional quotation for their clients and partners within less than 1 minute.

The meeting will also allow the members to meet under less formal circumstances during the welcome cocktail reception, gala dinner party, and the coffee breaks. On the second evening of the meeting, agents and their spouses will be treated at the Byblos Sur Mer restaurant, a Lebanese eatery at the Intercontinental.

After the closure of last year’s Annual Meeting, a member from Germany commented, “It is very important to participate in the meetings because it is very different to do business with a person unless you can talk face to face. Participating in the Coop Annual Meeting greatly helped us in securing many new businesses from our partners within the network,” It goes without saying that, our upcoming Annual Meeting at Abu Dhabi is going to be an even greater success and allow the members to boost their productivity and grow their businesses.

Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!
