Warehouses and transport
One of the most important logistics
functions of a company involved in food
products sector is quality control during
warehousing and transportation of go-
ods. Therefore we pay a lot of attention
to strict observation of requirements and
procedures of hygiene norms regulating
technical and material conditions.
We guarantee relevant temperature, hu-
midity, pressure and any other required
storage conditions, which may be pro-
vided only in special purpose properly
equipped warehouses.
Main warehouses of the company are lo-
cated at the address Ukmergės st. 126 in
Vilnius. Every morning several thousand
products travel to our clients to different
cities from here. For that we need more
than 40 trucks and lorries.
