Fruit Logistica 2022: Lufthansa Cargo as exhibitor again on site this year
Finally meeting in person again: Fruit Logistica trade fair opens its doors in Berlin from 5-7 April 2022. Lufthansa Cargo is an ideal partner for transporting perishable goods
When Fruit Logistica opens in Berlin on April 5, Lufthansa Cargo will once again be among the exhibitors. At the world's leading trade fair, the company will demonstrate why it is an indispensable partner for the global trade in fresh fruit and vegetables. This is because Lufthansa Cargo offers its customers a transport service that delivers perishable goods undamaged to even the most remote corners of the world. This is ensured by a temperature-controlled environment during the flight and storage, as well as the deployment of specially trained personnel. For example, blueberries from Argentina, avocado from Mexico or beans from Kenya are transported all the way to the recipient in warehouses in the UK or the Netherlands.
"When it comes to handling temperature-sensitive goods and perishables, Lufthansa Cargo has many years of experience and globally recognized expertise," says Wouter Boekee, Global Industry Manager Agriculture & Food at Lufthansa Cargo. "With our special Perishables toDoor service, we also offer Europe's leading food markets direct delivery via the Frankfurt, Munich and Brussels hubs.
With the Lufthansa Cargo hub in Frankfurt and its state-of-the-art and largest perishable center in Europe with fast and vacuum cooling capabilities, as well as its optimal location to distribute goods across Europe, Lufthansa Cargo is a reliable and experienced partner to the agri-food industry. Lufthansa Cargo has an extensive network with freighter as well as passenger connections from the most important export countries for fruit & vegetables.
Lufthansa Cargo has been an exhibitor at Fruit Logistica since 2013. The Lufthansa Cargo booth can be found in Hall 25, Stand C-07. Numerous airfreight experts will be available there for discussions with interested trade fair visitors.
