Aramex looks to Scandinavia
Aramex has launched a specialist road freight service to and from Scandinavia. Designed to appeal to freight forwarders throughout the UK and Ireland, the door-to-door service offers twice-weekly, guaranteed departures to not only the all major cities across Scandinavia and Finland but also to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
The neutrality of the service, which is available from all Aramex’ UK and Irish branches, will attract small and medium-sized forwarders who currently have limited access to these markets.
“Our wide experience in the wholesale air express market to the Middle East and the recent growth of our road freight services to continental Europe have shown conclusively that there is a gap in the market to this part of our region and it is a niche which we can fill,” said Aramex UK managing director, Jim Armour.
Aramex anticipates that traffic on the routes will be split almost evenly between imports and exports and states that there are no restrictions on shipment size or commodity.
