GEODIS extends Freight Forwarding services with a southern Spain office

Global logistics provider’s Freight Forwarding Line of Business has established a new service hub for customers in the Andalusia and Extremadura regions of Spain. The office in Seville commenced business as of 1st October. 

With well-established operations in other major Spanish cities including Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia the Group’s freight forwarding services have been available to the country’s importers and exporters for over twenty years. Now both maritime and air transport solutions will be offered in the south of Spain along with additional value-added services such as Control Tower for complete oversight, Purchase Order and Vendor Management and Emission Reporting.  Enhanced visibility of cargoes status is enabled through the bespoke GEODIS’ web-based platform, IRIS (Intelligent Real-time Information System), an online booking, pricing, tracking and shipment system.

The GEODIS team in Seville will provide a service with a global reach across the GEODIS Group’s network spanning nearly 170 countries.   

“Our ability to understand the needs of our customers in the southern regions of Spain will be greatly enhanced by our new, strategically located base,” says Ivan Sanchez, managing director of GEODIS in Spain. “Our mission throughout the GEODIS organization is to help grow the businesses of our customers. In order to achieve that, we must harmonize with their expansion plans, facilitating the logistics that underpins those plans in the most relevant way. A localized operation is required to develop such a close relationship.”

Joining the GEODIS Group consisting of 350 employees in Spain and over 44,000 worldwide, the Seville based team are welcomed by GEODIS Spain’s Managing Director, Ivan Sanchez.  “It is passion that drives our teams both here in Spain and around the globe.
