Girteka Logistics providing temperature controlled environments

As a growing number of countries focus their export economy around food and various food products, the need to keep these products fresh for extended periods of time has gained importance for commercial and health reasons. This is what stimulates logistic companies, such as Girteka Logistics, for a search of safe and fast ways to deliver fruit and vegetables and ensure seasonal continuity.

The rate at which living fruit and vegetables age and eventually submit to senescence (old age), are attacked by micro-organisms and inevitable demise depends upon the environmental status afforded during storage and transit. Proper air circulation and optimum temperatures must be ensured in all transport units, carrying such cargo. Time has also a direct impact on fruit and vegetables shelf life and therefore on the potential revenue a consignment may generate.

 
 
Modern and eco-friendly equipment
One of the leading companies offering full load haulage in Europe – Girteka Logistics – is highly focused on food deliveries. Food, including fruit and vegetables, makes almost 50% of the company’s shipments in Pan-European region. The modern fleet, owned by Girteka Logistics, consists exclusively of the most modern Volvo and Mercedes Benz trucks, meeting Euro 5 and Euro 6 emissions standards. Additionally to that company owns 2500 Schmitz and Krone refrigerator semi-trailers equipped with Thermo King and Carrier refrigeration units.
 
All this modern equipment can guarantee temperature range from -25°C to +25°C for foodstuffs and other cargoes that need special conditions during transportation. By the way, all semi-trailers are equipped with termographs & T-Bars. Newest cooling units help to reduce fuel consumption and at the same time – reduce environmental impact.
 
 
Long-standing experience
 
Delivery of fruit and vegetables gets even more complicated as differing kinds have widely varying requirements for their safe preservation. For example most of the fruit and vegetables are subject to chilling injury if stored for long periods at low temperatures. However, during transit periods of several days, rot and mould are more likely to damage lemons than the cold.
 
This makes it obvious that not only modern equipment but also a long-standing experience in handling temperature-sensitive freight is important. From the very beginning, in 1996, Girteka Logistics started with transportation of food products, as well as fruit and vegetables. Know-how and professional managers are well aware of the needs and problems growers, packers and exporters of fruit and vegetables are facing. This makes them able to respond promptly and adjust to a customer's requirements.
 

Location of Lithuania, where the company was born, has always played the huge part in its economy and throughout the history made it one of the main transportation hubs in Europe and Central Asia. Add to that well-educated and multilingual employees, up-to-date equipment and track record for 24/7 delivery, dynamic commercially minded management and a “can-do” outlook, and you can see why Girteka Logistics is one of the biggest and best performing companies in the region, shipping goods between many European countries.
