Norbert Dentressangle has been steadily growing its share of the Chilean perishables market 18 months after its launch in Latin America. The freight forwarding division has become one of the top-five providers of air-freight management services for fresh produce exports in Chile.
In December last year, ND handled 1,500 tonnes of Chilean blueberries and cherries destined for markets in Europe, the US and China – a 50 per cent increase on 2011 volumes.
Following the launch of its freight forwarding division in 2010, Norbert Dentressangle opened offices in Chile and Brazil in 2011 and continues to develop its presence in Latin America.
Antoine Pascual, Managing Director of NDO Chile S.A. and Latin America said: “From start-up in 2011, our perishables business has developed rapidly in line with the dynamic growth in the Chilean export market. In addition to fruit, we are also experiencing increased demand from exporters of fish, including salmon and urchins.
“In a short time, we have become a significant player in the perishable air freight sector and now have a solid platform to continue to grow the business and our market share, in line with Norbert Dentresssangle’s ambition to become a major global freight forwarder.”
