Aid and Relief Logistics | Supply Chain Management

Our mission: To help people in need

Whether it’s malaria in Africa or the war in Ukraine, the number of relief efforts is constantly increasing. So, we have made it our mission to support the humanitarian market with our logistics expertise.

That’s why we’ve set up a special department called aid and relief logistics, which offers logistics solutions tailored to these requirements. We provide excellent service and assure that all goods are delivered safely and on time – to where they’re urgently needed.

How we build our humanitarian logistics solutions

Europe - Americas - Eastern Africa: We have established control towers all over the world with the experts needed for transporting sensitive goods to difficult regions – working on behalf of the UN, INGOs, donors, governments, or humanitarian suppliers.

Our control towers are also the central point of contact for your inquiries – from preparing quotations for complex multimodal transport solutions to coordinating entire operations. If required, we can also deploy our staff directly on-site. But no matter where we implement your humanitarian mission – we work flexibly, competently, and with all our might to find the best solution for you because we want that companies in the aid and relief sector must feel that their shipments are as important to us as they are to them, as said by Philippe Dumas, Global Head of Aid & Relief Logistics.

All over the world

We span the globe with a network of control towers (Europe - North and South America - East Africa) responsible for humanitarian needs. Each control tower consists of a qualified team with regional expertise in cargo movement, customs clearance, transport capacity, road conditions, and general infrastructure capacity.
