Tesco chooses the C.S.CARGO Group

Global retail leader Tesco chooses the C.S.CARGO Group as its carrier.

Prague, 27 May 2013 – Retail segment leader Tesco has chosen the C.S.CARGO Group, a Central European leader in logistics and transport, as its carrier. The company won out over the competition thanks to its range of services, logistics know-how and cost effectiveness.

Retail giant Tesco has chosen C.S.CARGO as its strategic partner for secondary distribution. Michal Petráček, Primary Account Manager for Tesco Stores ČR, had this to say about the selection: “Tesco sees C.S.CARGO as its strategic partner primarily because of its flexibility and attention to the customer. We value their effort to find the best approach to everyday operations and their special treatment of important clients.” He went on to say: “When choosing our partners, high quality service and financial stability are the important criteria and C.S.CARGO meets both of them.”

In describing the benefits that C.S.CARGO brings to its partners, Aleš Willert stated: “We were able to offer Tesco years of experience with secondary distribution, where we achieve a service level of 99.8%. We are also able to offer clients tailored loading solutions for several customers and unloading at multiple distribution centres.” He added: “Thanks to the size and quality of our vehicle fleet, we can meet the needs of our partners during peak periods and urgent situations.”

The C.S.CARGO Group provides Tesco with transport services for a wide range of chilled and staple foods and consumer goods. Moreover, it has become an important link in Tesco’s new Prague Hub project, which involves the transport of goods from the warehouse in Prague to Hungary and Slovakia for its key customer, Procter & Gamble. In terms of volume, this means the dispatch of 6 to 20 loaded vehicles daily to one destination. Michal Petráček added: “The Prague Hub project is one of the reasons why Tesco chose a strong transport partner that can offer us the necessary flexibility.”

The partnering of the Central European logistics and transport leader with a major enterprise like Tesco came about thanks to the carrier’s superior ability to meet the client’s needs. The C.S.CARGO Group has a new, extensive vehicle fleet that complies with the most stringent ecological standards. Furthermore, it is able to flexibly and reliably provide transport in a volume far exceeding the capabilities of smaller companies. Cooperation with such major companies has made the C.S.CARGO Group the leader among Central European carriers.
