We are thrilled to announce that Ziegler Morocco has been awarded the prestigious Authorized Economic Operator (Security and Safety) certificate! This achievement marks a major milestone for our company and solidifies our position as a trusted and reliable partner in the Moroccan marketplace.
It really was a long process first to achieve OEA class A (very good rating by the Moroccan customs). So we are thrilled to have now achieved OEA SS which is the highest certification and shows the highest level of trust from Moroccan customs.
As one of the very few Moroccan companies to receive this distinction, we are now in the elite class of trusted companies that are authorized to operate outside of normal customs hours, issue our own transit documents, and transfer full trucks with reduced customs checks. This level of trust and flexibility allows us to provide our clients with efficient and seamless logistics services, ensuring that their goods reach their final destinations on time and with the highest level of security.
This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, who have worked tirelessly to meet the strict standards set by Moroccan customs. We are proud to be recognized as a leader in our industry, and we are committed to maintaining the high level of service and security that our clients have come to expect from us.
We are excited to continue our growth and success in the Moroccan marketplace, and we look forward to continuing to serve our clients with the highest level of professionalism and excellence. Thank you for your continued support, and here’s to many more great things to come!
Ziegler Group understands supply chain challenges more than most.
Filled with excitement, we are looking forward to receiving the first autonomous delivery vehicles that we ordered last year so that we can begin testing them in conjunction with various research institutes and government bodies in Europe.
However, we will need to be patient since our rollout of autonomous delivery vehicles for Europe is somewhat delayed due to supply chain issues for the vehicle manufacturer in the USA.
Udelv – the maker of the Transporter autonomous delivery vehicle Ziegler has ordered – is pioneering cutting-edge solutions for autonomous last-mile delivery, and they are working through the issues caused by economic issues that are causing these unavoidable delays.
There are still some steps to be done before testing can even begin. So Ziegler Group is hard at work setting up the conditions, research and partnerships that must be in place to bring this game-changing technology to Europe. We will use this time to prepare the ground even better.
We are looking forward to the arrival of Ziegler’s first Autonomous Delivery Vehicles. And as we embrace this unfolding revolution in last-mile delivery, we are not losing sight of our goals – bring our customers more convenience while simultaneously boosting sustainability and quality of life in cities around Europe.

Chinese New Year is the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar and is the most important festival in China.
In 2023, the first day of the Chinese New Year (the year of the Rabbit) will fall on Sunday, January 22nd.
Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally last 16 days, starting from Chinese New Year’s Eve through to the Lantern Festival. The first 7 days, from January 21st to January 27th are a public holiday, which can result in a disruption of supply chain flows between China and Europe.
However, with Ziegler Group’s own branches in China and Hong Kong, we are able to secure the supply chain for our customers even during this holiday period.
Ziegler’s offices in China and Hong Kong will be on-call to take over each other’s duties to keep the movement of goods flowing as smoothly as possible for our customers.
For more detailed information, please get in touch with your Ziegler representative.
Do you know that 99% of everything you buy, consume, eat and drink was transported to you by emissions-generating combustion engines?
Most goods and food are not produced near your home. They need to be transported by vehicles with combustion engines to stores, depots, and even directly to your doorstep. At Ziegler, this is what we do – ensuring goods get to where they are needed. But combustion engines emit excess carbon, which is responsible for warming our climate by retaining heat in the air. We are architects for transport and logistics, but not ‘engineers’ who can invent low-emission engines or build stronger, lighter batteries.
But we are ‘entrepreneurs’, and as such we take our social responsibility seriously.
How seriously? Check it in our annual sustainability magazine, 2022 edition:
There’s no better time than the festive season to express our warmest greetings and our best wishes.
The team at Ziegler Group wishes you peace, joy, and prosperity throughout the coming year of 2023.
We would like to express our sincerest appreciation for the trust you have placed in us and wish you the very happiest and most peaceful time. May you look forward to a New Year full of wins and successes.
Automation is prevalent in warehouses and inland waterways, and in this video Tom Verkoelen (Continuous Improvement Officer from Ziegler Group) explains why autonomous road vehicles are the next area that the group is looking to make significant advancements.
The time has come to test autonomous vehicles on the road because the technology is ready to take the next step and adapt to our needs and help us solve problems like road congestion, air pollution, noise pollution, labour shortages and so much more!
Logistics is a very traditional sector, but that makes it all the more important to innovate and improve for a greener planet and better lives for all who live on it.

As part of our sustainability mission, in October 2022, Ziegler Group’s Headquarters facility in Brussels obtained the CO2-NEUTRAL “SITE” label.
Valid for one year, the certificate was granted due to demonstrating that our site is “conscious of its CO2 emissions. By supporting a certified climate project we offset 565,6 tCO2e”.
Granted by CO2logic, this certificate represents our efforts to be conscious of carbon emissions on-site. We are very proud to have earned this distinction, however, we don’t plan to stop with simply offsetting our emissions. We demonstrated with other sustainability projects that we actively implement steps to reduce our own emissions – at the Brussels location and in all our company operations. This is a practical test and we will continue to evaluate alternatives (carbon compensation and other possibilities) for future offsets.
Ziegler Group’s CEO, Diane Govaerts, has been nominated for the title of ‘Manager of the Year 2022’ by Trends Tendances magazine.

It is an opportunity to highlight the major challenges our industry is facing and Ziegler’s efforts in these areas, such as the decarbonisation of our services, the digitalisation of our activities and promoting technological innovation in our sector.
