Maria Torrent-March, Director of Europa Warehouse, commented: “Europa’s collaboration with Outback will see us supply warehouse and logistics services for the business as sales increase. This includes a full logistics solution from a collection of the bonded containers from the shipping port in China (sea-freight imports), warehousing products, customs clearance and finally a delivery to UK distributors, retail outlets or even home deliveries. 2016 is looking to be a very buoyant year for Outback and Europa.”
