Posted on | by admin

Conqueror Dallas also upgrades their truck fleet and expands their office staff to better handle their growing client base

1 Trade Logistics relocates to a 25,000 SF facility at 1215 Metroplace Dr, Suite 400, DFW Airport, thereby expanding their warehousing capabilities substantially. The warehouse has a newly implemented and fully automated inventory management system to expand capabilities for client needs.The move to the new facility was largely prompted by their need to expand their warehousing capabilities so as to accommodate their expanding truck fleet as well as customer supply chain requirements. 1 Trade’s relocation to the larger facility coincides with an upgraded fleet of Peterbilt 579 Ultraloft trucks with electronic logging and tracking capabilities. The 579s improve reliability, fuel efficiency, and enhance driver productivity.

In the words of Andres Gamboa, CFO of 1 Trade Logistics, “Our new facility is inside DFW Airport, which is a major transportation hub in the center of the United States. Now we can promptly ship to domestic and international destinations.” Sol Arango, Co-Founder and President of CQR Dallas has commented that “It’s important – as a company – to keep growing, to keep providing improved opportunities for both our clients and our employees. The new facility brings new potential for warehousing, staff, and clients. We’re excited to continue to make it happen in bigger and better ways.”

Warmest congratulations to 1 Trade Logistics for all their successful achievements!

CQR Porto has grown by over 30% in 2017

Posted on | by admin

The exponential growth of CQR Porto is largely due to the mutual cooperation within Conqueror Network and their top-notch customer service

MGC Transitarios LDA, a company with almost 27 years of experience in the market, has grown by more than 30% in the last year. This has been a considerable achievement for the company and they are rewarding their entire team by sharing 25% of the company’s profit with their staff. Although this is something they do every year, it is even more special now since this is the best year they’ve had since their very foundation.

In the words of Gonçalo Ribeiro, Sales Manager of MGC Transitarios, “The growth has been the result of two main factors- first and foremost is our close relationship with all our clients. We provide personalized support for every customer which is one of the major reasons why we are still growing even after almost 3 decades in the market. The second factor is undoubtedly Conqueror Network which has given us reliable partners everywhere and allowed us to go door-to-door in every corner of the globe.”

Mr. Gonçalo Ribeiro has further added that “We want to maintain the same numbers this year and grow again in 2019 for which I am counting on the help within the CQR Network. I will attend the Annual Meeting at Kuala Lumpur this year and I intend to develop strategies with other Conqueror members in order to promote our mutual growth.”

The Conqueror team is delighted with the news and we wish them the very best for their future projects!

“We consider ourselves a one stop shop. We can cover all logistical needs our clients might have.”

This week we had a chat with Dwayne Caruana, Senior Logistics Manager of Carmelo Caruana- our Conqueror member in Valletta, Malta, who tells us about his experiences in the logistics sector, the achievements of his company and more.

Q. When and how did you get into the freight forwarding industry?

A. My career started 22 years ago as a junior runner with a customs brokerage agency. After a couple of years, I engaged with Carmelo Caruana Co Ltd as third-party agents to CMA-CGM and other major shipping lines. I had a short spell with a marine intelligence anti-piracy firm before joining a major Spanish ferry company representing a ship chartering subsidiary in Malta. Today I find myself back at Carmelo Caruana Co Ltd, Malta, managing their freight forwarding division.

Q. Give us a few examples of cargoes that you have handled either with your base being in Malta or via Malta to other destinations.

A. We have handled a pipe laying logistical project between Libya and Italy, and we have handled perishables such as fruit and vegetables, valuable cargo and hazardous cargo such as chemicals. Moreover, our teams have been entrusted with the transportation of turbines, large storage tanks, yachts, industrial steel wire reels, industrial reactors for the Valletta breakwater bridge, the new LNG power station at Marsaxlokk port and for international yachting events organized locally, among others.

Q. What distinguishes Carmelo Caruana from other freight forwarders in your city?

A. We consider ourselves a one-stop shop. We can cover all logistical needs our clients might have, being it sea freight ( FCL/LCL/FTL/LTL/OOG cargo ) with weekly dedicated services, airfreight and customs clearance, storage and warehousing fulfilment services, ship agency, port operations, ship to ship rendering operations, commodity transfer, passenger services and more. We can engage in air charter and project cargo at clients’ request since we have personnel with extensive experience in these areas.

Q. How did you hear about Conqueror? What most attracted you to us?

A. Conqueror was first found online by CCCL. Apart from the wide network and agent coverage, the professionalism experienced through dialogue is what attracted us most.

Q. Where do you see Carmelo Caruana Co LTD in 10 years?

A. CCCL strives for reputation and growth. Since we already consider ourselves key players in logistics both locally and abroad we believe our professionalism and integrity could possibly take us into the maritime sector locally and/or overseas.
