DB Schenker Renews Logistics Partnership with IPC

DB Schenker has extended the agreement to provide the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) with logistics, freight forwarding and customs clearance services for the four year period across Sochi 2014 and Rio de Janeiro 2016 Paralympic Games as well as other key IPC events.

Both the IPC and DB Schenker have been working together since Athens 2004.

“We are pleased to have DB Schenker further develop the logistics service offering to the IPC and our NPC’s. Consistent quality logistics services continue to be a major planning and operational requirement across our events,” said Xavier Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of the IPC.

Heiner Murmann, Member of the Board of Management, responsible for Air and Ocean Freight, Schenker AG, commented: “We are pleased to develop further the relationship with the IPC, as their Official Logistics Supplier. We are committed to provide logistics concepts, support and services at all times, ensuring that the IPC will always fulfil its strategic priorities.

“While thousands of athletes are already training hard for the Paralympic Games in Sochi 2014, our logistics preparations are also in full swing, making sure that the IPC will reach their goals.”
