Global logistics services provider, DB Schenker, will be exhibiting its specialised transportation and packaging solutions for the food and beverage industry at Fine Food Australia.

The leading trade event for the food service industry, Fine Food Australia is celebrating its 40th year of the forum, and will host over 850 Australian and international exhibitors at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from September 2-5.

DB Schenker Australia & New Zealand Cluster air freight director, Daniel Andersen, said the company has a number of dedicated transportation solutions for perishables such as meat, dairy, and fresh produce, as well as storage and handling to keep product quality high.

“At the 40th year of Fine Food Australia, DB Schenker will be showcasing how we can help food and beverage specialists deliver higher quality fine food, while reducing their footprint with smarter storage and handling technologies,” said Andersen.

“For example, in Western Australia, DB Schenker has one of the state’s three temperature controlled storage facilities for food and perishable goods.

“With air freight we can offer time-definite options with seamless tracking and condition monitoring, and through ocean freight we have niche solutions such as transporting fresh milk in flexitanks,” he said.

One innovation to be demonstrated by DB Schenker at Fine Foods Australia is AirTrack, which provides customers with real time visibility of their air freight shipments.

“Not only does this help with risk management practices, but customers can keep an accurate record of data such as temperature, so that if an issue occurs during transportation, they have full knowledge of whether the product is still compliant with food health and safety regulations,” said Andersen.

“DB Schenker aims for innovative solutions, and is continuously investing in new ways of doing things and using lower emission products for our customers, so we encourage forward-thinking food and beverage companies to discuss options and ideas with our expert team.”
