Wallenborn’s Jason Breakwell to speak at the Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals Conference 2016

Wallenborn’s Jason Breakwell to speak at the Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals Conference 2016

Over the two days, this conference aims to explore, debate and answer how key international standards can be established and measured.

A lively debate is guaranteed around other issues such as the modal shift to ocean freight and what air freight can offer in rapid delivery, constant monitoring and secure tamper-proof supply chains.

Luxembourg, 19.10.2016

On 22-23 November, AirCargo News Events will host the 3rd Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals Conference in London.

Hilton London Heathrow Airport (Terminal 4)

The sector’s thought leaders will be there to discuss topical themes and the increasingly tight regulatory regime around pharma  goods. Air cargo remains a key strategy for the safe transportation of pharmaceutical and life science products and shippers  rightly expect high standards of performance from their suppliers.

As the air cargo industry continues to move forward and develop new pharmaceutical supply chain services and processes, what are the key performance measures that will set consistently high standards and create value for stakeholders? How do we collectively achieve and measure those standards?

Key conference themes include:

  • Do logistics providers meet the expectations of shippers of these temperature sensitive commodities?
  • Where is the temperature-controlled solutions industry heading with new products and services? Will this cost less or more?
  • How can the industry work in even greater cooperation towards high standards of supply chain performance?

On Wednesday, 23rd November, at 14:00 Jason Breakwell, Commercial Director at Wallenborn Transports will be speaking about “Security in the Supply Chain”. He will cover a range of topics including:

  • Recent analysis on the true costs and impacts of supply chain crime
  • Emerging threats in the European supply chain
  • Hot spots in 2016
  • Recent and expected initiatives to mitigate risks

It promises to be an informative session with references to real examples of risk and preventive measures.

ACN Interview: A trucker in the fast lane

ACN Interview: A trucker in the fast lane

Our CEO is in the news! Air Cargo News published the article The ACN interview: A trucker in the fast lane today:

Luxembourg, 22.08.2016

Wallenborn is a well-known name in European road feeder services (RFS), but president and chief executive Frantz Wallenborn had a youngster’s enthusiasm for a speedier form of transport than the family business could offer.

“As a boy I always loved cars, especially fast ones. Engines in general fascinated me. Trucks, however, were not always part of this fascination, but as I grew older and started to understand the real possibilities of a transport company, I became a lot more open-minded.”

“I was lucky to have first-hand insight into the industry through my father’s business, so before long it seemed a very natural step for me to join his company.”

Luxembourg, 22.06.2016

According to the World Bank, during the last decade there have been many changes affecting the transport sector in China. Since the early 1990s, the economy has moved from a centrally planned environment to one which is more commercialized and competitive; the degree of openness has increased; patterns of transport demand have changed; and passenger and freight traffic has grown rapidly. As such, China is an increasingly interesting space for European companies to expand their networks and seek mutually beneficial relationships with Asian partners. Wallenborn has been a trusted partner to Chinese companies for years, as they look for support in moving goods into Europe.
