Seafrigo & Classic Fine Foods seal new partnership
We are thrilled to announce that, as of June 2024, Classic Fine Foods Group has partnered with Seafrigo Airfreight for all our logistics and air freight forwarding operations from France. This strategic alliance guarantees top-tier shipping standards for our amazing ingredients to Classic Fine Foods subsidiaries globally, as well as direct customers of Classic Fine Foods Rungis.
At Classic Fine Foods, "Customer Centricity" is one of our 6 core values. This collaboration is a prime example of that value and will greatly benefit our global customers by ensuring our premium ingredients retain the highest levels of quality and freshness during delivery.
We extend our sincere thanks to the commercial, logistics, IT, and legal teams from both companies, who have worked tirelessly over the past few months to carefully plan every aspect of this partnership.
Dominique Lienhardt, Operations Director at Classic Fine Foods Rungis, stated:
“From collection at our partners’ locations or deliveries to our docks by their carriers to arrival at our customers’ premises, all our products exported from France must meet our traceability and cold chain requirements. Seafrigo, being a long-standing partner of Classic Fine Foods in maritime transport, has proven their mastery of our business and our reliability and quality service requirements in the transportation of ultra-fresh, frozen, and dry products by air for our subsidiaries and customers. Our air export supply chain for food products is now implemented by Seafrigo Airfreight from the specialized perishable site in Thiais, where our logistics team has joined our service provider’s staff, and soon from Rungis Sogaris. The essential security of these operations through this partnership allows us to focus on our purchasing and product sourcing activities for our customers with the aim of maximum service quality.”
Olivier Dallot, Air Freight Director – Continental Europe and Africa at Seafrigo Group, stated:
“We are honored to become the logistics and freight forwarding partner of Classic Fine Foods. This contract reflects our commitment to providing high-quality air logistics solutions and is based on shared values of quality and customer service. Seafrigo Airfreight, with its expertise in logistics and air transport commission, and its mastery of complex supply chains, will bring its know-how to ensure the distribution of fresh and ultra-fresh products from Classic Fine Foods worldwide. This partnership is a key step in our growth and service diversification strategy, both for export and import, to offer cutting-edge air logistics solutions and further enhance customer satisfaction.”
Christophe Leloup, Managing Director – Airfreight PARIS at Seafrigo Group, added:
