The Rhenus Group launches perishables transport service in Spain

The Rhenus Group is presenting its new transport service for perishable goods in Spain. Under the brand Rhenus Fresh, the global logistics provider offers a complete door-to-door and temperature-controlled solution for fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and seafood. The launch of this solution is in response to the growing demand for fresh produce in Spain, a sector that is increasingly looking for efficiency and sustainability in its supply chain.

Rhenus Fresh, the Rhenus Group's specialist perishables transport division, is entering the Spanish market to extend the successful model that already operates in key markets such as Northern Europe, Asia and Latin America to our country. The new service will offer producers and distributors in Spain a comprehensive range of global maritime and air transport services tailored to fresh and frozen products. To support this expansion, Rhenus has also established a dedicated team in the country to manage both imports and exports to strategic international markets such as Europe, Latin America and Asia.

A growing market

Spain is one of the largest producers of fruit and vegetables in Europe and the year-round demand for fresh produce has driven the need for advanced logistics solutions. Rhenus Fresh responds to this challenge by offering a complete range of services and assets to ensure global logistics coverage for perishable goods throughout the supply chain, from origin to any destination. In this sense, one of Rhenus Fresh's main objectives is to help Spanish exporters and importers access new markets and create new business opportunities.

“We want to consolidate our position as the leading provider of fresh produce logistics in Spain. Thanks to the support of the Rhenus Group's global network and the expertise of our specialised team, we are in a privileged position to offer logistics solutions that meet the needs of Spanish growers and distributors, both locally and internationally,” says Marc Ortega, Head of Sales for Rhenus Air & Ocean in Spain and Portugal.

“We are very proud to be expanding our services in Spain, where the fresh produce sector has great potential. The quality of Spanish perishables is recognised worldwide and with Rhenus Fresh we are making it easier for these products to access new markets,” states Joseba Varela, Head of Rhenus Fresh in Spain.
