For many years, Ziegler Group has been at the forefront of importing cocoa from Brazil, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, and other renowned regions. However, our journey doesn’t end there. For over 10 years we have been also working with final product manufacturers, enabling us to export chocolates from the renowned chocolate-producing countries of Belgium and Switzerland. This collaboration allows us to ensure a seamless supply chain, guaranteeing the finest chocolates find their way to chocolate lovers worldwide.
The transportation of chocolates is a delicate dance requiring expert choreography. We often rely on multimodal transportation solutions to transport these precious goods. With hot climates posing a challenge during certain periods of the year, we leave no room for compromise. Ziegler Group takes charge from A to Z, leveraging our extensive network of branches across Europe to meticulously monitor and follow up on the goods’ journey, ensuring their safe arrival.
At the heart of our chocolate logistics lies our temperature-controlled warehouse. Picture a sanctuary where each chocolate’s delicate essence is preserved. Our warehouse maintains a consistent temperature throughout the year, carefully monitored to ensure optimal conditions. To further safeguard these delicate treats, we strategically position them in locations with minimal temperature variations—far away from loading docks and at the ground level. Every step is taken to create a haven that cherishes the integrity of every chocolate bar and truffle.
Temperature control doesn’t stop at the warehouse’s edge. We go the extra mile to ensure that chocolates remain in a cocoon of ideal conditions during transportation. Ziegler Group collaborates with our subsidiary, Worldpack, an expert in specialized packaging. Together, we engineer packaging solutions that maintain stable temperatures, safeguarding the chocolates’ quality. Whether it’s repacking pallets with thermo-blankets before departure on a plane or creating self-made boxes that keep pralines at the perfect temperature for many days, our dedication to preserving the integrity of these delicacies knows no bounds.
Chocolates, like many delightful things in life, have an expiration date. At Ziegler Group, we understand the importance of ensuring that the chocolates we transport are fit for consumption before they leave our warehouse. Our meticulous system keeps track of expiration dates, guaranteeing that only the freshest and most exquisite chocolates make their way into the hands of eager chocolate enthusiasts. This meticulous attention to detail forms the foundation of our commitment to delivering excellence.
As purveyors of goods meant for human consumption, chocolates require special authorizations, certificates, and customs procedures. At Ziegler Group, we take pride in our comprehensive understanding of the complex regulatory landscape. Armed with the necessary certifications, including HACCP and phytosanitary certificates, we also navigate the intricacies of customs procedures, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free journey for these delightful treats. Your satisfaction and safety are at the forefront of our operations.
As we celebrate World Chocolate Day, let’s recognize the unwavering commitment of logistics providers in delivering the world’s finest chocolates to your local stores. From sourcing premium cacao to ensuring seamless transportation, warehousing, and regulatory compliance, every step is taken with utmost care.
So, as you indulge in that exquisite piece of chocolate, cherish the journey it took across the world to you!
