Mar 30, 2019 (newstodate): Compared to Norway's ever-expanding seafood export volumes, Denmark's fur exports generate less spectacular volumes of airfreight: 5,000 tonnes annually.
   Behind this figure is Kopenhagen Fur, the world's largest company in this business with five annual auctions putting some 25 mio skins up for sale.
   Servicing the auction customer is Kopenhagen Fur Logistics, an in-house provider of neutral logistics services headed by Line Spang, Kopenhagen Fur Logistics Manager.
   -Set up in 2010, Kopenhagen Fur Logistics operates three own warehouses in Thailand, Cambodia and China fully controlled by us and allowing us to send sold shipments of fur prior to customers' payment, and the individual lots will then be released as customer payments are recorded, says Line Spang at today's Nordic Air Cargo Symposium, in Oslo.
   -The driving idea is to support customers with neutral logistics services, leaving them free also to chose forwarders at their own decision.
   -Kopenhagen Fur Logistics cooperates with two freight forwarders, Damco and ScanGlobal, considered our partners in this service without discriminating customers' own preferences.
   -The model of operating own warehouses in markets generating most of our business is clearly "big in/small out", and we thus cooperate with airlines for allotments at preferential rates.
   -Driving this thinking is that by securing beneficial low logistics costs for our customers, they can instead spend more money in buying at our auctions, says Mrs Spang.
