Our Global Project Forwarding team wants to thank you for taking the time to visit us at our stand at Breakbulk in Antwerp last week - it was exiting to meet you all.
We are happy to say that the exhibition was a great success for FREJA and we are already looking forward to next year in Bremen.
See you there!
FREJA in Sweden is in search of a new managing director to strenghten the organisation and support the future development.
See the specific job description at the Swedish web site
A fantastic journey and a tremendous development - but also quite a lot of challenges - has resulted in an enterprise with huge commitment and a desire to create value for as well FREJA as customers and partners.
The journey in Sweden started with the establishment in Helsingborg and a staff of 10 people. Shortly after, FREJA purchased Euro Traffic Helsingborg and TKS in Tumba. During 2008 FREJA purchased Åkeribolaget in Helsingborg together with TKS in Tumba and both companies were merged into FREJA in 2009.
In the spring of 2009 FREJA established office and terminal in Jönköping, which was an important step towards the further development in the North and for domestic activities. FREJA took over ATS in Växjö during the summer of 2010. The company in Växjö was moved to Jönköping and Helsingborg during spring 2012.
In May 2013 FREJA opened an office in Göteborg and is now present on four strategic addresses in Sweden with a total of approx. 100 employees.
In 2017 FREJA in Helsingborg will move all activities to new premises on a new location close to E6. From there, FREJA will be able to handle transport to and from the Continent, the North and domestic in Sweden.
FREJA Sweden services the market with 320 trailers and has a full covering domestic system with local sub suppliers. The ongoing development of IT solutions and products enables us to meet the market's demand for track & trace, speed and precision.
With FREJAs local presence and focus on finding solutions to all kinds of transport assignments, we look forward to serving the market with transport- and logistics solutions for many more years.
Availability, simplicity, rapidity. FREJA has something unique to offer and we want to show it to the world. Come, see and hear more in Antwerp in April!
Breakbulk Europe provides excellent business and networking opportunities with more than 400 exhibitors and sponsors and approx. 8000 visitors. Exhibitors and sponsors include cargo owners, ocean carriers, freight forwarders, ports & terminals, heavy haulers, equipment companies and more that are involved in this specialized industry.
The FREJA difference
It can be an advantage to be a smaller player to count among the best within project forwarding. As a smaller or middle sized collaborator, it is easier to be flexible and create customized solutions. We can gather our network fast and focus on each individual project and the needs of the customer.
You are welcome to visit us at the exhibition in Antwerp on 25 - 26 April on stand 420H3, where you can meet our professional international team with plenty of experience and expertise within project forwarding.

The purpose of the negotiations in recent months has been to create a solution for DAFA’s Construction and Industry divisions in such a way that one freight forwarder consolidates all deliveries.
DAFA develops, manufactures and supplies a wide range of sealing, absorption and protection products and total solutions for the construction sector and industry. It all happens in a close cooperation with the customers.
“In DAFA we see ourselves as a consulting partner and our wide product range allows us to match the needs of each customer, even when comprehensive special solutions are required,” says Jesper Holm Rasmussen, Warehouse Manager in DAFA.
“Our design and development department has a day-to-day focus on the development of innovative solutions in close collaboration with our partners. This is a significant part of our business philosophy and ensures that we always develop the optimal solution, both in terms of functionality and cost-effectiveness,” Jesper Holm Rasmussen continues.
We collaborate our way to success
We see that our expanded cooperation with FREJA brings us in an even better situation with our customers. FREJA has met us with flexibility and openness and a range of services where the possibility for one-stop solution is present,” Jesper Holm Rasmussen says.
DAFA relocate their external warehouse and logistics of approx. 600 industrial pallets from Kolding to FREJA in Stilling together with all inbound and outbound traffic. This decision is the first step in an even closer cooperation between DAFA and FREJA - a cooperation that started in 2014.
According to Franz Andersen, Sales Director in FREJA Denmark, the expanded cooperation demonstrates the fine match between the two companies.
“Our expertise within operations and master data is utilized in a good way. Jens Henrik Olesen, who is responsible for the daily operations, and Kenneth Sandgaard, who handles our Business Intelligence, have made big efforts in both areas, which makes the strategic cooperation between DAFA and FREJA easier,” Franz Andersen concludes.

It is our aim to create efficient and productive in-house solutions to the freight challenges, which our present and future customers are facing.
During recent years, FREJA has experienced an increasing demand from our customers for air and sea freight shipments. Previously, our Global Project Division has handled this demand.
Since it is our ambition to be a full service provider for our present and future customers, we started a new airfreight division on 1 January 2017. To manage the new division we have hired Torben Stenshøj, who has more than 25 years of experience in airfreight solutions.
Today, we support our customers as regards sea freight, project forwarding and third country consignments. Presently, we handle airfreight shipments through a local partner, as we await our authorization as an IATA agent, which will allow us to issue Air Waybills on all approved airfreight companies. We expect the authorization to be in place within a few weeks.
If you have questions to the above or need any assistance with your airfreight and sea freight shipments, please contact:

Without previous warning, the Austrian authorities have introduced requirements of fulfillment of Austrian minimum wages. However, there are great doubts about the announcement - also as regards validity for international transport.
If none of the EU member countries will raise objections to this initiative, there will be consequences of which we do not have the overview yet.
We will return with further news as soon as we have information that is more specific.
FREJA CHINA has finished the loading of 8 sets of transformers with a weight of 70 tons per set and a total of 2000 cubic meters.
The cargo was gathered by coaster from two different locations in China for further loading onto an ocean vessel in Shanghai. All went smoothly for the loading in Shanghai on the first day of 2017!
The journey to South America has started and in Uruguay the cargo will be reloaded onto another coaster going to the final destination in Paraguay.
The Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is China's most important traditional festival. It is also the most important celebration for Chinese families and a week of official public holiday. In 2017, the Chinese enter the New Year on 28 January, starting the Year of the Rooster.
In the days around the New Year celebrations, the cargo transportation schedules to and from China as well as the domestic activities are heavily affected.
To make sure that your cargo arrives on time, we urge you to book your transportation as soon as possible with your contacts at FREJA. Otherwise, you can find our responsible contacts here: http://www.freja.com/frontpage/project-forwarding.html
We wish everyone a wonderful Spring Festival and a Happy New Year.
Time does not stand still. We are approaching the end of the year and a new year will soon begin with all the opportunities, it can offer.
In 2016, FREJA has invested in additional skills for our organisation, primarily in order for you to get an optimum service and assistance in your daily work and to ensure the best quality in our solutions for you.
FREJA Denmark has signed the first warehouse agreements with Pharma customers for our Copenhagen Pharma facilities and we see an increased interest in this new product. Our Global Project Division has experienced growth and the interest for our Project solutions is continuously increasing. Furthermore, we have extended our Road Division.
In the following you can read, how FREJA to an even greater extend can be of assistance and help you increase the value creation in the entire Supply Chain. Our new customer Scandi-Roc explain, why FREJA was chosen as sole supplier and partner and elaborate on their expectations to our partnership.
All of us in FREJA want to thank you for your trust in us in 2016, which makes us both proud and humble. We will work dedicated to improve our quality and services so that we can continue to create value for you and your customers in the future.
Enjoy the reading.

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.

FREJA invests in customers’ supply chain challenges and contributes to optimisation by balancing the operational resources and market demands
FREJA Consulting adds value to the process related challenges, which our customers experience in their daily operations. The consultants are able to identify the potential for improvements in the supply chain, focusing on cost efficiency and profitability. The potential is identified through setup and constellation of facilities, make-or-buy decisions, processing technologies and organisational adjustments.
FREJA Consulting has been involved in specific cases regarding warehouse placement, distribution centre placement, mathematical calculations of logistical models, calculations of logistical flow of goods and consolidation across time, destinations and volume.

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.
