e-commerce boom: One-stop shop for pallet groupage service

ACP Global Forwarding is a leading freight forwarding company, offering comprehensive solutions in road transport, contract logistics,
consulting, e-commerce solutions, all with a difference: it has its own customs agency.

Established in 1993, this Warshaw based company has expertise spanning back over thirty years. In 2003, it was incorporated into the DPD Group and benefits from membership of the Polish Chamber of Forwarding and Logistics and affiliation with the British Polish Chamber of Commerce (BPCC).

The largest service is domestic and international groupage road service, offering groupage transport (one to six pallets) on regular lines across 30 countries in Europe, including the UK. The recent boom in e-commerce has expedited deliveries to Amazon Fulfilment centres in Doncaster and Coventry, with ACP Global Forwarding at the forefront of this.

Marcel Piątkowski: Head of Sales from ACP Global Forwarding exhibited at Multimodal 2024 from 11th-13th June at the NEC Birmingham. He was part of an esteemed group of trade professionals interviewed for a ‘Meet the Experts’ video series at the three-day event. In the interview, Marcel spoke candidly about navigating post-Brexit customs and pinpointed how ACP Global Forwarding is providing bespoke solutions for British-based customers.

“We provide a one-stop-shop for British customers and unlike other freight forwarding companies, continued our freight forwarding services in the aftermath of Brexit. It’s important that we are a trusted partner and a large part of that has been our forensic understanding of the finer intricacies of custom regulations. We can advise on all low to high volume parcels for consignees from Europe to the UK and vice versa – this is in addition to our expertise in managing high volume Amazon shipments to fulfilment centres in the UK with ‘time-sensitive’ delivery windows.”

“British entrepreneurs or company owners don’t need to open directly in Poland for example, they can register VAT as a VAT payee, acquire a European number and then seamlessly make shipments as one declaration/load each time, which can be more cost-effective.”

ACP Global Forwarding runs a ‘tight ship’ – as we say in the UK. Whilst many of the Mediterranean companies take extended holidays during the hotter months, this Warshaw powerhouse has continued running services as usual. For example, wine shipments have been arriving, without delay from Italian vineyards to bespoke wineries across the UK and all this with increased holiday road traffic.

Here at Business & Industry Today, we have been so impressed with the professionalism and expertise displayed by ACP Global Forwarding that we have awarded them as one of our Top Exhibitors at Multimodal 2024 and look forward to seeing
what their next move will be.
