Integrity at Remiro is high

Daan de Wit of Future Airfreight B.V. has been in the business for over 30 years. Why do they work together if they are actually each other’s competitors? Daan explains.

Daan:
‘Even way before Remiro was founded, I was already working with some of these people. We both worked at freight forwarding companies. Nowadays, we both run a freight forwarding company with Air and Sea freight. Because I have been in this business for so long, a huge network has been built up all over the world in those years. Remiro is also currently growing and expanding its services all the time. So we do a lot together but we each have our own customers and our own strengths. This creates win-win situations for all parties. We do not compete with each other; the integrity at Remiro and the trust in each other is high.’

Versatile
‘There are an awful lot of forwarders and competition is high. That’s why we stick to this cooperation, which really suits us very well. Remiro has the licences to transport all types of goods. For us, for example, they do a lot for our biggest customers with aircraft parts to and from Nairobi for Kenya Airways and electronics to various destinations the world over, such as the Middle East and South Africa. Remiro also handles all kinds of imports for us. Including the use of their customs storage if required. They also provide road transport for import and export shipments.

Nothing but praise
‘For the guys working at Remiro, nothing but praise. I have known most of them for years and drop in for a chat. New employees also have the same mentality. Everyone is very flexible. Even if something needs to be done outside normal office hours, they are there for us. Even with urgent shipments on weekends, they are there for us. They also know our customers and know very well what needs to be done. And if something happens, I ring the bell and half an hour later it’s solved. The cooperation with Remiro just works very well and honestly. As far as we are concerned, we will continue like this for a long time to come’.
