GAC opens new logistics office in Warsaw
- United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, December 16 - 2008 at 10:55
- PRESS RELEASE
The GAC Group has opened a new sales office to meet growing demands for logistics services in Poland.
As most of the country's logistics business is controlled in and around Warsaw, GAC has strategically placed its new office right in the centre of the capital - 'the airfreight hub of Poland', according to Gunnar Lundgren, Regional Logistics Manager. The new office joins GAC's two existing bases in Poland, which provide essential sea freight connections from the ports of Szczecin and Gdynia.
Increasing demand, growing economy:
"Poland accounts for a massive 22% of business in Central and Eastern Europe," says Lundgren. "GDP is one of the fastest growing in Europe and forecast to rise by almost 4% in 2009 - unusual in the current climate. In a country of 38 million people enjoying improving standards of living, demand for imported goods such as cars and home furnishings is higher than ever, as is the need for reliable logistics services. Additionally, Poland's substantial exports of clothing and foods mean there's lots of freight moving in both directions."
The new Warsaw office is headed by industry veteran Jaroslaw Kasprzyk (Sales Manager, GAC Poland).
"Our new Warsaw Sales Office places us closer to our customers," says Kasprzyk. "This, coupled with the Group's global network and local expertise, makes GAC the most efficient logistics partner for local businesses as Poland continues to grow."
