There are catalogues and then there are IKEA-catalouges. This week the catalogue for 2010 have begun to land in the letter boxes throughout Sweden. The interest is high, not just from Swedes with an interest in interior decoration, but also in mass media. Green Cargo has, with the help of NTR, taken care of the transport of the catalogues from the printing place in the Czech Republic to Sweden. In total there has been 74 wagons loaded with 27 tons each.
IKEA cooperates since many years with a german printing house, which this year chose to locate the printing to one of their subsidiaries in the Czech Republic.
- This meant that we had to go through our productive apparatus, says Simon Tjerring, key account manager at MS. We turned to NTR to ensure that we had expertise on the spot, who could monitor and guarantee the quality all the way from the Czech republic until the wagons were on the ferry and safely arrived in Swedish harbour. Thereafter Green Cargo have done all the monitoring and the final transport including conveyance.
- The catalogues were printed in July and the first wagon was loaded on July 27th, continues Simon Tjerring. The last wagon left on August 7th. The flow has functioned impeccably and the catalogues are now being distributed by the Post.
