For us, every challenge is an opportunity to unlock potential, and we will use all our abilities, exploring and understanding our clients’ needs to find the right solutions at the right time.”
It is beneficial for both companies

With Scan Global Logistics ambitions, culture and products, it was a good match for both companies” says Eva Fahlander, General Manager at PostNord Air & Ocean.
Claes Brønsgaard Pedersen, Group CFO in Scan Global Logistics, agrees: “Enhancing our network and making us stronger at some of our core products by moving anything to anywhere will benefit both current and upcoming customers.”
