Transport and logistics

Transport and logistics should be seen in context with supply chains. Logistics are a methodical approach to integrate, optimise and develop improvements for supply chains. Today, cooperation is an essential element of the solutions. As part of the company’s specialisation and outsourcing of activities outside the company’s own core competences, external carriers and third party logistics operators are often used.
