Tigers, an enterprise solutions company specialising in e-commerce fulfilment, transportation, and supply chain solutions worldwide., has opened a new office at Frankfurt Airport, Germany, which will support the Group’s global freight growth strategy. The new office will also act as a gateway for Europe by creating air freight consolidation products, starting with the trade lane between Germany and South Africa.
“The opening of our new office at Frankfurt Airport aligns with our global strategy to expand our freight activities and gain new volumes for our global freight network,” said Andreas Niklasch, Managing Director, Germany & Switzerland, Tigers.“By consolidating multiple shipments into a single one, for example from Frankfurt to South Africa, which is a key region for us, we create competitive solutions for our customers.”
Headed by Marc Acksteiner, the new office offers the full range of Tigers’ core services, including international freight forwarding and Customs brokerage, as well as its pioneering EU-China rail freight service – Tiger Rail.
Tigers is preparing for the global launch of its online marketplace, the Tigers eShop, which will optimise its e-commerce offering to B2B and B2C customers worldwide. The Group’s Cologne e-commerce fulfilment centre, as well as its eTigers facility in Rotterdam, have both doubled in space in less than a year due to increasing demand.
“The new Frankfurt office will boost our global offering, especially in the key verticals and markets, and help strengthen commerce between the two regions,” said Paul Lawrence, Managing Director, South Africa, Tigers.
Tigers Germany has now three offices, working across a range of industries, including industrial goods, aerospace, automotive, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, high-tech, perishables, cosmetics, and fashion among others.
Headquartered in Hong Kong, with offices and facilities throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South Africa, Tigers has over 100 years’ experience of supporting customers in the healthcare, technology, fashion, automotive, wine and perishables, and outdoor and active lifestyle sectors.
