Scandi-Roc chooses FREJA as sole supplier

As of 1 January 2017, Scandi-Roc in Esbjerg will use FREJA Transport & Logistics as sole supplier for their total transportation activities.

This is a natural step forward in a long-lasting cooperation on the international road transport. The new agreement means that FREJA will handle Scandi-Roc’s national transports with day-to-day deliveries all over Denmark and import of container commodities from the rest of the world.

Scandi-Roc is a well-reputed Danish company, which has achieved a strong profile by focusing on niche products in concrete and natural stone, especially for the European swimming pool market. In recent years, Scandi-Roc has experienced a dynamic growth with focus on developing the product range and increasing export activities, today counting 20 European countries.

Good service and One-Stop Shopping behind the decision

For years, FREJA has managed the export for Scandi-Roc, primarily consisting of part load pallets to the European market. With the new task of import and export activities to 20 European countries, FREJA needs to have a strong partner network. This has been a main reason to the success of the cooperation in the past years.

Behind the decision to choose FREJA for the national transport activities and the import of commodities lies a wish to optimise the internal processes in Scandi-Roc and to do One-Stop Shopping, enabling Scandi-Roc to focus primarily on developing the core business.

”We have been searching for a supplier to cover our total transportation needs since we use our transport system as an active sales parameter towards the market. Our strategy, which is based on Direct End-User Delivery to the entire European market, has made it difficult to find a sole supplier, who was able to deliver a complete and satisfying product”, says Thomas Jacobsen, owner of Scandi-Roc.

”After FREJA established an office in China in the spring of 2016, it made good sense to start the negotiations for an agreement to cover our entire transportation needs. We see FREJA as a dynamic company with excellent service, IT systems and customised solutions”, Thomas Jacobsen concludes.

In FREJA, we are proud of and humble towards the trust from Scandi-Roc and we are looking forward to the extended future cooperation.

Strong clearance skills simplify and streamline the costumer’s working day

The rapid development in our customer’s demands for clearance solutions has initiated new investments in FREJA’s customs clearance departments in Denmark and Norway.

On this basis, FREJA can offer our customers flexible and efficient solutions based on strong skills within clearance. An area, which can be both complex and difficult for our customers to handle in their daily work.

Recently, a FREJA customer experienced that one of their vehicles stranded at the border to Norway. Within half an hour, FREJA had contacted the clearance authorities at the border and issued the necessary documents to allow temporary import. The customer avoided paying customs and taxes and arrived at the destination on  time, without any extra costs.

”To let FREJA manage the clearance makes us more efficient. All requests are handled professionally and the people in FREJA are committed and helpful”, states Hanne Brix Johansen, Administration Manager at Stenger & Ibsen Construction.

In FREJA Denmark the customs clearance department handles all round clearance assignments. In FREJA Norway, our customs clearance personnel is also specialised in clearance of food and pharmaceuticals. Thus, FREJA offers a wide range of clearance competences.

Our flexible clearance personnel with approx. 20 dedicated experts are at our customer’s disposal every day. They offer guidance in regards to the new clearance regulations and optimisation of the customer’s processes as well as finding solutions to minimise costs related to the clearance assignments.
