AiO Member SIMARCO Expands 3PL Offering in Europe

14 May 2019: With a number of clients projecting significant European expansion plans, Simarco are pleased to announce they have furthered their 3PL offering with the opening of three DC’s and forming strategic partnerships in Belgium and the Netherlands, with close feeds into France and Germany.

Having ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam in close proximity, as well as DC sites located close to cross channel routes between the UK and mainland Europe, they benefit from the excellent transport infrastructure and make them great locations for the control of their clients inbound and outbound logistics needs.

Providing logistics services in NL and BE has benefits from ‘Fiscal Representation’ (FR), a special scheme in NL and BE that allows non-resident companies to import products from outside the EU, store and then sell their products to European or overseas buyers, without payment of import VAT usually applied at the time of entry. This is achieved by deferring the import VAT payment and processing it at the same time as the quarterly VAT return; a scheme which is available and used by some of our clients.

What is important is Simarco can provide solutions that match the needs of their clients and with the combination of their customer focus and technology driven approach, they believe these DC’s will add great value for the clients they have successfully integrated.

With a number of potential opportunities in the pipeline to increase their Benelux portfolio, they are also looking to expand their contract logistics offering into the Iberian market, as this success story continues…

About All-in-One Logistics Network (AiO):

The AiO concept is all about leveraging strengths as a group.

Every logistics company in the world has its own strong points which depend upon the professional capabilities of their people, the needs of their customers and the aims and goals of the company. That has meant that some companies might handle only one type of cargo whereas other companies are experienced in more than one type of cargo. Until now this has meant that most independent freight forwarders need to join a few networks to cover each of their areas of expertise. We have changed all that.

When your company joins AiO you have the opportunity to enroll in various specialties including commercial cargo, project cargo, international removals, perishables and exhibition freight. From these specialties we form smaller groups specifically concentrated around that exact expertise. As such you will find that you have qualified companies for all your cargo all over the world, in one network. And they are all covered under the same financial protection. When you meet these companies at our annual general meeting you will only meet companies who are working in the type cargo that is of interest to your company so you can focus like a laser beam on the markets that will make your company grow and become more profitable.

It is plain to see that AiO’s revolutionary approach creates efficiencies for independent international logistics companies that did not exist before. We mean to open an entire world of freight and logistics opportunities to your company in a way that will make your customers happy, in a way that will feed your bottom line and in a way that will keep sales growing in your pipeline.

Logistics is a word that you would see most often on the side of trucks. it might sound like a simple-enough business of moving things around, but it is growing to be more complex than this. Good logistics can make all the difference to a company’s ability to serve its clients. In an ever changing world of commerce, where the process of doing business with end users keeps evolving, the importance of logistics becomes more prevalent. At 2020 Logistics we know that the word has an even bigger meaning: it is all about the management of the flow of materials through an organisation, from raw materials to finished goods – ensuring the successful delivery of the right product to the right place at the right time. The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination to always apply the best of ourselves to any situation. Our aim is to follow a forward-thinking, proactive approach to all shipments thereby ensuring that all global freight forwarding and procurement challenges are effectively managed. At 2020 Logistics we have a clear vision in mind – to ensure we do everything we can, to move your business forward.
