Following a competitive tendering
process EU Freight Services company Efret has been awarded a €2.5million contract with Michelin Tyres PLC. The
contract was awarded to Efret based on best cost and service mix for its proven
flexibility within difficult situations, which Efret has continually
demonstrated over the nine year partnership. The contract was won despite
fierce competition from other major European carriers.
Efret began working with Michelin
in 2005 and was originally regarded as a niche carrier, able to undertake
difficult operations. Over the years Efret has continuously delivered
exceptional results for Michelin, which was the main driver for them being awarded
the larger contract.
The contract involves supply-chain
critical semi-finished products being transported from Germany to Dundee
manufacturing plant; returning with tyres and empty stillages.
Jeff Duval, Efret CEO, comments
on the Michelin contract win: “To have recognition at a very senior level that
our business model can deliver above and beyond what the larger carriers can
do, is quite simply fantastic. Efret was formed as a pioneering European Freight Transportation company, with the clear aim to set a new standard by
which the industry should be judged. For Michelin to award us this sizable
contract is a big step forward and we look forward to working with Michelin for
many more years to come.”
