Rhenus Svoris was awarded the prize for being the best freight forwarding company in Lithuania by a national commission of experts at the end of November. Arunas Bertasius, Managing Director of Rhenus Svoris, accepted the prize from Vytautas Levickas, the President of “Lineka”, the Lithuanian Freight Forwarders Association, at a special ceremony.
The award is presented every year at a conference, which is organized by the “Lineka” Lithuanian Freight Forwarders Association (Lietuvos nacionalinė ekspeditorių asociacija), the “Linava” Association of Transportation Companies (Lietuvos nacionalinė vežėjų automobiliais asociacija), Association of logistics and the “Transportas” trade journal. Rhenus Svoris was able to beat off a challenge from three rival companies this year. The jury based its decision on the fact that the company had continued to develop despite the difficult economic conditions in the market place. Another important criterion in reaching their decision was the company’s success in joining the System Alliance Europe cargo network at the beginning of 2009.
“The award means significant recognition by experts in our sector,” Arunas Bertasius said after the prize-giving ceremony. “It reinforces our image as a strong, growing, innovative company, which is therefore attractive to our customers.”
Rhenus Svoris was already awarded a prize for its “logistics services in 2008” by the Lithuanian Logistics Association or LLA (Lietuvos Logistikos Asociacija) at the 10th Baltic Logistics Conference in 2008. At that time, the prize related to a project, which involved Rhenus Svoris in disposing of 2,000 tons of hazardous waste from former storage depots in Lithuania.
