In the realm of global logistics, effective collaboration across borders is crucial. A stellar example of this is the successful partnership between Logistics Plus Brazil and Logistics Plus Egypt, which has set a benchmark for operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
The partnership began in 2023 when Logistics Plus Brazil contacted their Egyptian counterparts. The motive was clear and urgent: a Brazilian customer needed reliable and efficient handling of frozen food shipments originating from Egypt. Recognizing the complex requirements of shipping perishable goods internationally, both teams quickly mobilized to create a seamless logistics framework.
Over the year, the collaboration successfully shipped over 150 containers of frozen food from Egypt to Brazil. This endeavor was not just about moving goods but ensuring they arrived in perfect condition, adhering to the strictest health and safety standards. The teams coordinated every aspect of the logistics process, from warehousing and inventory management in Egypt to transportation, customs clearance, and final delivery in Brazil.
The constant communication between the teams in Brazil and Egypt made this partnership exceptionally productive. Regular updates, combined with an in-depth understanding of the logistics landscape in both countries, ensured that each container was handled precisely. The teams leveraged their local expertise to navigate regulatory environments and logistical challenges, ensuring timely deliveries despite the complexities involved.
As we look to the future, this partnership is a model for other offices within the Logistics Plus global network. It underscores the company’s vision of a truly interconnected global logistics operation where challenges are met with innovative solutions and unmatched teamwork.

Saturday, June 1st took off from JFK to Munich for the transfer to the flight to Rzeszow, Poland.
Long flight, but got about 5 hours sleep, so not all that tired when I got there. At the Munich airport lounge, I discovered the long-missing Tony Soprano enjoying his breakfast. Shhhhh. Please don’t tell anybody…
And, for you soccer fans, I walked by this store in the Munich airport:
From there, I flew to Rzeszow, Poland, where LP has been present for over 25 years. There, I had a wonderful dinner with Pawel Wronski, who has been with LP from the beginning. It was great to see him. He is a special guy and always fun to be with.
Pawel took me to a great local restaurant in the city center for a DELICIOUS bowl of Polish borscht and then pig knuckles that were also delicious.
A quick but worthwhile stop. I actually flew out a day early, so I would have a few hours in Rzeszow to see Pawel. I would have hated to rush from the plane to the train without getting to see him. If I had left on Sunday, that’s what would have happened. But this way, I got a good night’s sleep Sunday night in the airport hotel, had this great dinner with him, shared some stories and good laughs, then got picked up to head to the train station for our ride into Kyiv.
In normal times, that would be a short flight. But as we too well know, these are not normal times there, so air travel is non-existent. Instead, it’s an 8-10 hour trip by train.
I was honored and fortunate to spend a wonderful week in Ukraine last week. My son, Derek, our SVP of Global Government Solutions, and I got to visit Kyiv and Odesa to see our teams there (except for our biggest office in Ivano Frankivsk—sorry, next time!) and to travel this beautiful country.
Because of the busy schedule as well as security concerns, I was not able to send any info from there, so until I catch up (IF I catch up), this will be a little “time-delayed.” I hope that does not affect the story. It was an incredible week and an honor for me to meet our teams there, to get to know them a bit, and to witness up close the tough conditions they face every day, as well as the heroism of the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom and democracy.
I am off to the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin today, so I probably won’t have much time to write from here either. However, I will try to pick up the rest of the story when I return later this week. In the meantime, here are a few pics, with MUCH more to come.
