QCS-Quick Cargo Service with Branch in Romania

The established IATA freight forwarder QCS-Quick Cargo Service plans to open several branches in Eastern Europe soon. The first new office in Bucharest will be operational by April 15. The branch will be led by the experienced logistics expert Alina Moldovan. Further branches are planned shortly.

(Mörfelden-Walldorf) “We have identified 3 countries where we want to open offices. Bucharest and Cluj in Romania are at the top of our list, or rather, they have already been completed, followed by Bratislava in Slovakia, Budapest in Hungary, and Warsaw in Poland,” reports QCS Managing Director Stephan Haltmayer.

QCS-Quick Cargo Service is thus following its strategy of continuous and close-knit network expansion. The company is present nationwide in Germany with 12 own offices (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg sea freight and air freight location, Hanover, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich, Münster-Osnabrück, Nuremberg, and Stuttgart) and has been actively operating branches in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London, Basel, Zurich, Copenhagen, and Szczecin for several years across Europe.

Lubos Lukac as Business Development Manager

To quickly establish the planned new countries, QCS has hired Lubos Lukac as the central Business Development Manager. He will drive and manage the establishment of the Eastern European branches. The long-experienced and well-networked logistics expert has relevant experience in building Eastern European companies.

The locations in Eastern Europe represent a high strategic value for the company. “We expect strong expansion in the industry towards Eastern Europe, from which we as a service provider want to benefit,” says Haltmayer. As a practical example, he refers to Hungary, which has developed into an industrial hotspot in recent years, where suppliers for the automotive industry are strongly represented.

Budapest as a Hub

Recently, the freight volume at Budapest Airport exceeded the tonnage handled at Vienna Airport for the first time. “We want to develop Budapest into our hub for air freight on the routes between East Asia and Eastern Europe. We will feed freight shipments from neighboring countries into Budapest to consolidate them with locally generated volumes and transport them by air freight,” Haltmayer further explains.

Furthermore, customer proximity is important for the company. “Only in this way can we optimally respond to customer needs, be in close proximity to production sites, and speak the local language,” summarizes the company’s CEO the key advantages.
