Rohlig SUUS Logistics, Polish largest logistics operator, has opened a warehouse dedicated to serving the products of Hisense, a global manufacturer of household appliances and consumer electronics. The new distribution centre allows the handling of a larger volume of goods and the consolidation of the existing operations in one place. This translates into cost reductions and more efficient customer support in the domestic and international markets. The facility is located in the P3 Warsaw I logistics park.

The global air cargo market is in a dynamic growth phase, although it can be seen that the scale depends on the geographical area and the industries that use it. The International Air Transport Association, IATA, reports that profits in the sector last month were up by around 12% compared to the same period last year, and by as much as 46% when looking at the figures before the COVID-19 pandemic. We also see this in our company statistics. Comparing 2023 to January-October 2024, the volume of shipments in this business increased by more than 25%.

For White Drive Motors and Steering, a global manufacturer of hydraulic motors and control blocks, one of the most crucial elements of business development is the efficient delivery of components to the factory. To meet these challenges, we rely on the Customer Managed Inventory service and project coordination in the Control Tower model. Why?

The strike, which began on October 1, affected 36 American ports on the East Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico, stretching from Maine to Texas. This protest will undoubtedly impact global supply chains. These terminals play a significant role in international trade, serving as key hubs for the transportation of goods to and from Asia, Oceania, and Europe, including trade with Poland. 

Although there is still a long way to go before Christmas or November sales such as Black Friday from a consumer perspective, the TSL industry is already starting to feel the Christmas rush. The most dynamic situation is in sea freight. This year, it is not only the distance to production markets that matters, but also the issue of supply chain security. We are seeing a shift of about two weeks from the freight peaks to which we are accustomed. Whats more, some have started transporting Christmas shipments as early as June. The reason for this is the blockade of the Suez Canal. Ships take a circuitous route around Africa, which extends transit time by precisely 10-14 days. Christmas or sale goods, including electronics, textiles, ornaments and toys, arrive mainly from China, which is the EUs largest import partner next to the UK and the US. According to Eurostat, China accounted for 20.5 per cent of EU goods imports in 2023.

Rohlig SUUS Logistics continues to develop the SUUS Portal. Polands largest logistics operator is introducing the possibility of placing orders for domestic groupage road transport. The solution, thanks to the template function or the clear interface, among other things, allows for quick operations, which saves customers time. SUUS plans to further improve the tool.

Rohlig SUUS Logistics, Polish largest operator, is opening a modern logistics centre in Lodz, tripling its operational capacity compared to the previous location. The new investment combines the functions of a logistics warehouse and a cross-dock terminal. The facility offers tailor-made solutions for companies across a range of industries, including a comprehensive customs service, a range of value-added services, infrastructure for the storage of ADR goods, international transport and domestic distribution.

Rohlig SUUS Logistics opens two direct groupage lines from Brno to Sofia and to Bucharest. Thanks to the operator's well-developed network of connections across Europe and logistics centers in the CEE region, these routes can also serve as important elements of the supply chains for entities from Northern and Western Europe. The new connections significantly increase its operational capabilities in the southeastern part of the continent. To date, it has provided direct general cargo lines to Turkey and Greece.

Rohlig SUUS Logistics, the largest Polish logistics operator, has published its third ESG report. The document was developed based on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The report summarizes 2023, a groundbreaking year for the operator in terms of refining and advancing a comprehensive approach to sustainability. During the reporting period, SUUS published its sustainability strategy, received approval for its decarbonization targets from the SBTi, and established and implemented a cross-functional ESG management structure.
