Effective distribution of Josera pet food across CEE and the Balkans by SUUS

Tailor-made and efficient logistics operations are essential to ensure product availability on store shelves – and they directly contribute to building competitive advantage and driving business growth. Discover how Rohlig SUUS Logistics supports Josera in managing warehousing and road transportation processes for the delivery of its pet food products across Central-Eastern and South-Eastern European markets.

Josera is a German manufacturer specializing in high-quality pet food. We provide for the customer integrated logistics model that covers the entire supply chain – from factory pick-ups to regional distribution.

From factory to warehouse

We provide both LTL and FTL road transportation from production sites located in Germany and Poland to the SUUS logistics center in Poznan.

Strategically located distribution hub

Pet food is stored and handled in our state-of-the-art logistics center in Poznan, which serves as a central hub for Josera’s regional operations. We provide a wide range of contract logistics services.

• Storage in standard racks with dedicated zones separating odorous and absorbent goods;
• Labeling – application of Polish labels on selected products manufactured in Germany;
• Picking goods according to their shelf life, automatically suggested by the WMS system;
• Preparing palletized orders in line with demand and specific requirements of end customers, such as retail chains;
• A warehouse fully compliant with food-related standards, including HACCP certification for handling pet food;
• A strategic location that enables efficient distribution not only across Poland but also throughout CEE and the Balkans regions – including Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria. We also manage deliveries to France.

Our operations are flexibly scaled to match the client’s changing business needs – adjusting both capacity and workflow pace during promotional campaigns or periods of increased sales activity. This allows us to maintain consistent service quality and on-time deliveries, even at peak demand.

Multi-channel distribution and flexibility

Josera’s business model covers various distribution channels – from specialized pet retailers to global retail chains. To meet these diverse needs, SUUS provides flexible logistics services tailored to each channel’s operational specifics, including defined delivery time slots and customized packaging requirements. We manage both FTL and LTL transport for large retail partners as well as for individual specialist stores.

Efficient data exchange and visibility

All operations are supported by seamless system integration between SUUS and Josera, ensuring real-time data exchange on orders and inventory levels. This integration allows both teams to maintain full transparency, react quickly to changing demand, and ensure smooth operational flow.

The entire process is managed by an experienced on-site team that coordinates communication and daily performance.

Evolving partnership

Our cooperation with Josera began in 2019 and has since evolved into a strategic partnership.

Over the years, the collaboration has significantly expanded in scope, reflecting the client’s dynamic business growth in Poland and abroad. What started as a local logistics project has developed into a regional hub operation supporting further expansion in the pet food segment. 

Dorota Maksyśko, Supply Chain Projects Manager, Josera, says: “Above description accurately reflects the scope of services and the development of our cooperation over the years in warehousing and transport areas, which Rohlig SUUS Logistics was successfully supporting. Rohlig SUUS Logistics has been a key partner in building a stable and flexible logistics model supporting both our domestic and international growth. Their integrated approach, operational transparency, and ability to scale alongside our business have played an important role in strengthening our regional distribution network, and helped to keep our customers satisfaction on a high level”.
