17.06.2024

Advance Market Analytics, an agency specializing in B2B market research, has included the international group of companies AsstrA in its list of key players in Europe in the logistics and transportation of wine products.

AsstrA’s experts understand that different industries have unique logistical needs. To best meet the demands of winemakers and distributors, AsstrA established a specialized department for the transportation of alcoholic beverages in 2012. For 12 years, this department's specialists have been addressing issues of safety, quality, and regulatory compliance in alcohol transportation.

As of the end of 2023, the top countries from which AsstrA imports alcoholic goods are Italy, Spain, and Georgia. The group's team of specialists works with all destinations where alcoholic products are produced and delivered, regardless of volume or type of transport. For client convenience, AsstrA also offers warehousing services for the consolidation and labeling of goods with excise stamps in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Georgia.

"Transporting wines and alcoholic products is a complex task requiring special attention to safety and quality, as well as a deep understanding of ever-changing legal and technological requirements. European countries can have different standards for quality control, safety, environmental compliance, customs procedures, and licensing. In response to these challenges, AsstrA implements strict control measures at every stage of delivery—from packaging to temperature monitoring—to ensure the preservation of the cargo. The recognition of our expertise is both gratifying and well-deserved," comments Mariya Pobolovets, head of AsstrA Drinks & Tobacco Logistics.

When transporting wines with AsstrA, clients can be assured of:

  • Adherence to temperature regulations: AsstrA Drinks & Tobacco Logistics specialists understand that many types of alcohol are sensitive to temperature changes and select appropriate transport to prevent spoilage.
  • Compliance with customs procedures: Alcoholic products are subject to strict controls, and moving them across borders requires knowledge of customs legislation, procedures, and financial guarantees, all of which AsstrA's customs specialists manage effectively.
  • Reliability in packaging and securing: The requirements for packaging and securing cargo are particularly stringent. Our team meticulously ensures that products are not damaged during transportation.
