The food logistics companies Nagel-Group and Bischof will be working more closely together in the future. The companies have significantly intensified their existing cooperation in chilled and frozen transports to Switzerland.
As a result of the agreement reached on 1 February 2019, the Nagel-Group has streamlined its network of cooperation partners for the Confederation. “To date we have fulfilled the transport wishes of our customers in Switzerland with the help of several service providers. The cooperation with an experienced, fixed partner offers benefits to both parties,” says Carsten Taucke, CEO of the Nagel-Group. For instance, this long-term cooperation will result in synergies achieved through reduction in empty runs or simplified processes through faster exchange using IT interfaces.
“We are delighted and are looking forward to working closely with the Nagel-Group. The Multi-Temperature-Centre we set up in Sennwald, Switzerland in 2012 and our headquarters in nearby Feldkirch offer ideal conditions for bundling the flows of goods for both companies to Switzerland and guarantee reliable delivery,” says Astrid Bischof, Managing Director of Bischof.
Both partners benefit through the same philosophy when it comes to chilled and frozen transports. “Bischof and Nagel are not only connected by their passion for food logistics but both companies also demand the highest quality standards of their services. It is therefore all the more gratifying that we have now succeeded in taking our shared ideas to a new level,” says Carsten Taucke.
The family-owned food logistics company Bischof was founded in 1973 and now employs 280 people. The headquarters is located in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, with two branches in Sennwald, Switzerland, and Schaan, Liechtenstein. Currently the company operates throughout Europe with around 200 trucks (3 temperature zones). The storage capacity is 18,500 frozen pallets and 12,000 multi-temperature pallets.
The logistics service provider is offering comprehensive solutions, ranging from the collection of the goods to storage, picking, packing, packaging, customs clearance, and delivery to wholesale chains and retailers in Switzerland and Europe. Bischof also carries out effective brokering. Bischof is a carbon neutral company since 2015.
The Nagel-Group, which specialises in food logistics, operates throughout Europe and has its headquarters in Versmold. It employs over 12,000 people in more than 130 locations. Recently the company reported a turnover of EUR 2 billion. The company group moves food consignments of all sizes and in all temperature ranges (frozen products, meat, dairy products, coffee and sweets).
