international logistics
The Locofreight team provided the lashing, securing, and packaging and loaded the goods into 2 x 40′ FR from Turkey, 7 x open top in gauge units from Turkey and 6 x 4′ HC and 1 x 20′ ST from Germany
“We were certainly not without our challenges. We had to book the equipment and arrange special trucks to do the job in order to ensure minimal risk of damage, whilst at the same time coordinating with the shipper in Turkey and head office in Germany. Oh and not forgetting the L/C expiry date was nearing,” explained Manager, M’barek A.
“Being the most sensitive shipment we have handled for Coca Cola, we dedicated a highly professional team to keep close eyes on the running of the delivery. We had to make sure the shipping schedule fitted with the deadlines with regards to the shipment date, L/C and installation.”
Thanks to their successful handling of this project, the team is enjoying further business, with Coca Cola requesting their logistics services across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
CQR Casablanca are bucking the trend showing that shipments go better with independent forwarders because they provide the real thing!*

CQR Kuala Lumpur covers 5 cities across Malaysia on behalf of Conqueror and Director-MTO Sapee Ismail and his team are highly thought of by both Conqueror head office and fellow members. With attendance at every meeting to date, Subalipack consistently proves that cooperation is the key to success. We recently spoke with Sapee about the company, its operations and its future plans.
Q. Could you tell us a little about the history of Subalipack and when you joined?
A. Subalipack Malaysia was founded in May 1981 as a humble transport distribution and relocation company. In mid-2009, it was awarded the Multimodal Transport Operators (MTO) license by the Ministry of Finance, Malaysia allowing it to participate in the government procurement and project logistics business.
Thus in August of the same year, the company began its operations in setting up the MTO Division and promoting business development, especially in the freight forwarding tendering and service presentation. In order to be competitive and result orientated, we needed a good and reliable freight network of partners worldwide for the EXWork and FOB terms for origin support services. And we are proud to have been a member of CONQUEROR FREIGHT NETWORK since 2011.
Q. Does Subalipack specialise in any particular kind of shipment/service?
A. Throughout the challenging years, Subalipack Malaysia has become the largest and the preferred local company, actively engaged in the business of transportation of household goods and commercial logistics. Other services include office and industrial relocation, freight forwarding and customs brokerage, storage and distribution, records management and the latest Multimodal Transport Operation (MTO).
Q. What is the most challenging relocation project your team has handled?
A. Well, in our case, it’s more the type of shipments, rather than any individual one, which are challenging. One of these would be the industrial relocation of plants and machineries for the Malaysian German Institute of Engineering which includes the dismantling and installation in just 14 days. Others are the FOB importation of 6 set trains (6 units per set) from Masan Port to Port Klang and then the final delivery to site. And finally, the multiple shipments of steel pipes, beams and plates on FOB from Antwerp and Japan Mill ports to Port Klang and barging onward to the sites private jetty at Lumut Port for Newfield Peninsula Malaysia (Oil and Gas Project).
Q. How does the team deal with these challenges and ensure a successful result?
A. With dedication and commitment, hands-on project coordination through every stage of the operation with detailed technical planning to the modus operandi.
Q. What sets Subalipack apart from other Freight Forwarders in Malaysia?
A. Excellent cooperation with customers, partners and staff, ongoing improvement in performance, system and strategy and customers satisfaction. Put simply; we care, we dare, we deliver.
Q. What are your plans for Subalipack over the next few years?
A. The future is definitely bright! As a result of our consistently high quality performance in the industry, Subalipack Malaysia has had its appointment as the exclusive relocation company for PETRONAS CARIGALI personnel transfer worldwide extended for another 3 years, until 2017. In addition, as a license holder, we have also been invited to participate in the project logistics of PETRONAS wholly owned company and subsidiary and joint ventures partners in production sharing activities. So, all in all, we have a busy few years ahead.
During the past four years, Conqueror’s agent in Durban and Johannesburg, has established a strong dependable name in the container sales and leasing market in Southern Africa, through its subsidiary
international logistics service provider
“Our name is synonymous with quality and service,” according to Alpha’s National Container Manager, James Norman, “and we have seen our market share grow steadily, as we seek, good quality equipment from China and other overseas markets. This has largely been possible due to our Conqueror partners, offering freight solutions, to facilitate movement of the containers to South Africa.”
In a new move, Alpha Shipping has started converting shipping containers into offices, shops, houses, and classrooms. “Actually the sky is the limit” claims Norman, “because with imagination, containers can be converted to almost any design the customer wants”.
And the next move? “At the moment we are just selling locally and to neighbouring countries,” says joint Managing Director, Richard Brook-Hart “but we know there is a big demand for converted containers throughout Africa, and this is where our Conqueror partners will again play a part, as we look to further expand by exporting our units into East and West Africa.”

On the recommendation of one of their clients, CQR Munich was chosen by the plastics giant igus® to handle the planning of its 30th anniversary round the world trip
logistics business partner
igus® has retrofitted a small car with iglidur® plastic components and sent it on a 10 month global expedition to demonstrate the high quality of its products. The CQR Munich team have been responsible for every aspect of the journey which is taking the car across four continents and three oceans; mile upon mile of tarmac, gravel, dirt and mud through rain, searing heat and snow.
“So far we are running to schedule, despite some schedule changes due to local vehicle registration problems in a few countries; we have had to register the car a few times to get local number plates, and the short transfer time of re-exporting the car currently in Brazil to Alaska. But, all in all this is a great project although I have to be reachable at all times,” explained Michael Lichtenegger of CQR Munich.
This tour has quite a following through its online blog and its facebook page which is certainly helping spread the name of Multi Logistics worldwide and increase its customer base.While for some companies this would be a once in a lifetime contract, for Multi Logistics, this is just one of a number of all-engrossing assignments, especially those for film, music and theatre projects.
Conqueror would like to congratulate the CQR Munich team!
