To strengthen its own project business, to further improve service quality in the breakbulk cargo segment, and to offer customers new trade lanes – strong motives for Militzer & Münch to join the Atlas Breakbulk Alliance (ABA).
ABA is part of Atlas International Network Ltd, a global logistics network founded in 1998, operating on five continents. Based in Antwerp, Belgium, ABA specializes in breakbulk cargo and project cargo, and sees itself as a non-profit service broker. All profits are reinvested in developing smart tools and marketing programs to enhance members’ breakbulk business.
“The membership offers us a global network with profound know-how explicitly in the breakbulk sector, and above all the opportunity to make new contacts,” explains Marco Fischer, Operations Manager Sea Freight & Project Logistics, Düsseldorf. Militzer & Münch will initially be the exclusive German representative of the Alliance.
Customers with project cargo and breakbulk cargo will benefit from the new alliance both in terms of service and in terms of new trade lanes. “The African continent is gaining more and more importance for our customers,” says Marco Fischer. “This makes Africa an interesting market for us as well, a market where we plan to offer more heavy load transports.”
Militzer & Münch will use the network to position itself more broadly, close strategic gaps, strengthen existing out-of-gauge services, and offer customers a comprehensive overall package. “This should enable us to participate in new tenders and to provide significant support for existing tenders. After all, we can now act as a full-service provider worldwide in this field, offering door-to-door deliveries, professionally executed,” says Marco Fischer.
