Auckland, New Zealand, September 10, 2014 -- This year, Röhlig New Zealand celebrates its 25th anniversary in Auckland. Röhlig New Zealand, who owns three branches and employs 60 people in New Zealand, has been mastering the growing complexity of global freight forwarding for a quarter of a century.

In 1989, the owner run logistics company Röhlig, founded in 1852 in Bremen, Germany, started its subsidiary in the promising New Zealand market. Röhlig New Zealand's first branch opened in Auckland and in 2001, Röhlig expanded with the Wellington branch. In 2008, the Christchurch branch followed and ever since the company has experienced a considerable supply chain evolution. All services are based on core competencies in the fields of sea freight, air freight, project logistics, warehousing and supply chain management.

Clients benefit from Röhlig as a supplier, who can manage the supply chain from pre-manufacturing to final delivery, all at the highest quality possible. It has significantly expanded its network in recent years, particularly in the emerging economies of Asia and South America. Furthermore, in countries where Röhlig does not have its own offices, it has agreements with selected local partners.

The company provides services for many vertical or industry-specific manufacturers “like wine and seeds for many famous New Zealand brands. In addition, Röhlig is active in the fast-moving commodity markets of electronics, furniture and food products for both local and global consumption. Röhlig's portfolio is thus prepared for New Zealand's economic growth by 3% yearly over the next five years. The company combines a strong customer focus with high-quality standards and state-of-the-art technology. In the IT sector, the subsidiary Röhlig blue-net offers individual interfaces and web solutions.
