Nine Years Aris Cargo – Happy Birthday !!!

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 05:14:53 +0000

On Mar 27, 2001 Sofia City Court Registrar has listed new limited liability company – Aris Cargo. Established with exceptional enthusiasm, for the nine years of our operations we aim to deliver the best we can, coping with the industry standards on worldwide level. For these nine years we have both moments of triumph and tough times.

Now, looking backward I see how much we have achieved. Well, and how much we could have achieved.

Aris Cargo has been appointed as partner for Menlo Worldwide Forwarding and is the current partner of CEVA Freight Management. This partnership provided us with additional business but what is more importnat we have received and we are still receiving the know-how and the valuable experience from these industry leaders.

Since 2007, Aris Cargo became IATA accredite freight forwarder which is an evidence that our operations comply with the industry accepted standards.

On Feb-06, 2009 Aris Cargo successfully passed the certification audit on its quality management system and has received certification for compliance with the ISO 9001:2008 standards.

We are member of the Bulgarian Forwarding Association actively participating in all the activities of BFA.

Well, as I have mentioned we also had tough moments, bigger part of them last year. The economical huricane that devastated the industry left its scars on us as well. We have blead and we are still recovering. And the worse has still not gone. Though the crisis has passed in the rest of the world, in Bulgaria it is just about to peak.

But let me quote Nietzsche – What does not kill us, makes us stronger. We will stand in front of the challenges and we will meet them. With the firm dedication to handle them and to continue forward. And to become stronger !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIS CARGO !!!

GOOD LUCK !!!
