Nagel group CEO Bernhard Heinrich told a news conference that the group’s clients requested access to Romania, and the network will be developed as contracts are signed.
For this year, Whiteland Logistics expects a 10% year-on-year increase in sales, to some EUR8 million, coming from new clients.
“We want to boost sales by 10% on logistics alone. The market is dynamic and we might as well achieve this growth with just one client,” said Andrei Rusu, Whiteland Logistics’ general manager.
The company has a 3,300-square meter storage facility in Bucharest, and another 11 centers nationwide.
Whiteland Logistics, owned by James Kodor and Lavinia Yassen, was founded in 1993 in Bucharest, and it currently has 280 employees. The company provides controlled temperature logistics, including national an international transport, as well as storage. Clients include Hochland, Heidi, Orkla Foods, Campina and Vel Pitar.
The Whiteland group has another two divisions in Romania, namely Whiteland Sales& Marketing and Whiteland BTL Services.
