Following the official launch of their cooperation at the end of 2008, Lufthansa Consulting and TransCare present their joint service portfolio for the first time at the world’s biggest international trade fair for logistics, telematics and transport “transport logistic” from 12 to 15 May 2009 in Munich. The partners will introduce their companies and services to exhibition visitors and industry experts at Booth 203 in Hall B4. The exhibition and conference for the global air cargo
business “Air Cargo Europe” is integrated in the event.

The collaboration of the consulting firms will provide a connection between the aviation industry’s complex supply chain and the established procedures in the transport sector thus optimizing the global supply network for the airfreight and logistics world. Together the partners can offer tailor-made solutions to make logistics processes more efficient and thus significantly reduce transport costs. The pooling of both companies’ service competencies focuses on two main areas:

• Aviation logistics infrastructure: Here both companies will plan, design and implement joint cargo areas for airports, both on- and off-port. Lufthansa Consulting’s specialist airline and ramp-side expertise combined with TransCare’s soundly based knowledge of global logistics, transshipment and warehousing processes will create substantial added value for customers – predominantly for airports.

• Aviation supply network: This service, which is geared towards shippers (industry and commerce), logistics service providers and airlines aims to harmonize optimization efforts in air transport with those of land-based distribution. Experience gained in countless projects has revealed enormous potential for cost-saving in this field.

As part of the industry exhibition both companies are organizing a forum: “Focussing on Costs in Transport Networks” with selected experts from the transport and logistics branch. Ralf Jahncke, President and CEO of TransCare and Thilo Schmid, Executive Vice President and Partner at Lufthansa Consulting will take part in the forum and the subsequent podium discussion.

Don’t miss the forum by Lufthansa Consulting and TransCare: “Focussing on Costs in Transport Networks” on 13th May 2009 at 10:00 a.m. in Forum/Hall B3 and the subsequent press reception at 12.30 at the joint booth 203 in Hall B4.
