Destylarnia Sobieski extended seafreight shipments agreement with Kuehne + Nagel

Poznan, Poland, 29-1-2014 — /EuropaWire/ — Destylarnia Sobieski has extended the agreement with Kuehne + Nagel as its service provider. The scope of activities includes seafreight shipments of Sobieski vodka from Poland to the US, customs clearance and warehousing services.

Kuehne + Nagel and Sobieski distillery have been successfully cooperating for three years. The logistics provider is handling the export seafreight shipments from Poland to the United States, shipped as Full Container Loads (FCL). In addition, the Kuehne + Nagel offices in New York and Miami are providing value-added services such as brokerage and warehousing. Recently, this cooperation was extended for another year.

An important element of the business relationship is Kuehne + Nagel’s Internet-based track & trace system KN Login which allows Destylarnia Sobieski efficient, fast and transparent monitoring and management of its complete supply chain. The software solution provides online information about all relevant shipment parameters and cargo details, documentation, customised reporting and real time status updates, thus offering the customer a tool for its forecast planning of the shipment flow.
