Tigers opens at Frankfurt airport

Tigers has opened at the airport to support the Group’s global freight growth strategy, and to act as a gateway for Europe by creating air freight consolidation products, starting with the trade lane between Germany and South Africa.

The new office, the Group’s third in Germany, is headed by Marc Acksteiner, and offers the full range of Tigers’ core services, including international freight forwarding and Customs brokerage, as well as its pioneering EU-China rail freight service, Tiger Rail.

“The opening of our new office at Frankfurt airport aligns with our global strategy to expand our freight activities and gain new volumes for our global freight network,” explained Andreas Niklasch, Managing Director, Germany & Switzerland, Tigers.

“By consolidating multiple shipments into a single one, for example from Frankfurt to South Africa, which is a key region for us, we create competitive solutions for our customers.”

Tigers is gearing up to the global launch of its online marketplace, the Tigers eShop, which will optimise its e-commerce offering to B2B and B2C customers worldwide.
