EFFICIENCY IN LOGISTICS


The efficiency of our company has already been proven itself in practice. That is mainly due to the fact that the entire concept was developed on the basis of practical experience. “We made a deliberate decision not to hire any external advisors. They may be knowledgeable about logistics, but they haven’t worked for 40 years. Everyone in our company was asked for his or her opinion in related subject. In the final design, efficiency was given the highest priority, not cost. Good routing eventually pays for itself. Whatever you do, you should do it well.”
