Sep 08, 2009 (newstodate): Taking effect from tomorrow, September 9, 2009, the Latvian freight forwarding company Spedair will change its name to Greencarrier Latvia SIA after 11 years with the original branding.
The name-change is a consequence of the Swedish forwarder Greencarrier's acquisition of most of the shares in Spedair in August 2008, but apart from the new branding no changes will take place, and the current management, headed by Inga Brasla as managing director since January 8, 2007 and still holding 10 percent of the company, also remains in place.
-The year 2008 was not an easy time in Latvia but we are proud that our airfreight volumes have not decreased, and we have even recorded a slight increase in 2009 compared to last year - but shipments have declined in size, says Mr Brasla.
-Our key to success is that we handle all kinds of cargo, including e.g. live animals, dangerous goods or valuable goods shipments. Another feature that differentiates us from the big players in the market here is that we offer our services seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
-There is always somebody on duty over weekends, and this is especially praised by our customers that ship biological substance shipments, says Ms Brasla.
