The strategic partnership between the two companies consolidates the expansion of 123cargo on the European markets since the beginning of the year (immediately following their growth on the Hungarian and the Polish market), while also ensuring a wider portfolio of services for Affinity Balkans.
Thus, since June 2015 Affinity Balkans will represent all 123cargo operations in Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro and coordinate the entire sales strategy of the brand in these markets.
” We are truly honoured and excited to be in this partnership with such a prestigious company as Affinity. After our very dynamic start of the year at a regional level, this alliance allows us to futher pursue our goal of offering a secure Eastern European freight exchange, with Eastern European fees. Likewise, this partnership comes as a natural complement to a policy that we strongly follow since the beginning of this year: attracting transport companies from former Yugoslavia by providing them opportunities for important market share expansion, through more generous routes throughout the continent – Eastern, Central and Western Europe, along with Russia and the Baltic States “– commentedDan Cotenescu, BursaTransport General Manager

As an official partner of 123cargo on these markets we are very proud to represent a freight exchange that offers a competitive price, along with solid experience and excellent safety parameters.”
