F.S. Mackenzie looks to reign in Spain

F.S. Mackenzie, the independent UK freight forwarder and NVOCC, has further enhanced its overseas network with the creation of a wholly-owned subsidiary and its first branch office in Spain.

F.S. Mackenzie’s Spanish subsidiary is headquartered in Valencia and offers the full range of multimodal freight forwarding services to shippers trading with Spain.

The office is headed by Albert Garcia Molina who brings many years experience of European forwarding and road transport operations to the new company. Additionally, Jose Ángel Torrente has been appointed Sales Manager.

The new subsidiary strengthens F.S. Mackenzie’s position in this important marketplace and will enhance the forwarder’s ability to meet the shipping requirements of companies active in the trade between the UK and Spain.

Furthermore, through its new Spanish branch, F.S. Mackenzie will also be offering services into other European markets in which the company has its own presence including Russia, the Ukraine and Germany.

Renowned for its pioneering freight forwarding and trailer services in Eastern Europe, F.S. Mackenzie is building up its network of branches and operations in Western Europe.

From day one, the forwarder’s daily trailer services between Spain and the UK have been very successful.

Comments Alfred Stienen, F.S. Mackenzie’s managing director: “We took the right decision when we launched services between Spain and the UK in 2003. With very competitive prices and fast transit times, we are now one of the main operators in this trade and have found the routes from Spain to London, the North West region - especially Liverpool and Manchester - and the Midlands, to be very popular.”

“Now, the opening of this new office, our tenth in Europe, is a further sign of our commitment to this market, which is a major trading partner with all the countries in which we have a presence.

“Having opened branches in Germany, the Ukraine and Tatarstan over the last couple of years, it’s very pleasing to be able to consolidate our presence in a market which we have been nurturing for some time.”

Including Spain, F.S. Mackenzie now has 10 wholly owned branches, including four in the UK, located at Basildon, Dover, Heathrow and Liverpool; four in Russia, located in Kazan, Moscow, Novosibirsk and St Petersburg, and one in both the Ukraine and Germany. Each of these branches offers effective real-time management and control of all customer shipments.

Concludes Mr Stienen: “With our own subsidiary and facility in Spain, we will be able to offer our customers an even better service, as we can exercise complete control over shipments to and from the region; something that we have not been able to do in the past.”

Trading since 1951, it has been our business and preasure to satisfy the forwarding requirements of our clients for over a half a century. The twin secrets of our success have been our policy of employing and retaining a highly skilled and motivated workforce, and keeping abreast with the latest technology.

We take pride in our ability to offer professional shipping, NVOCC, freight forwarding and air freight services which are reliable, time-sensitive, cost-concsious and tailored to the unique requirements of each individual client.
