Services and Solutions

At Cardinal, we believe the supplier-vendor relationship to be an important, strong and long term partnership. Both the client and the logistics partners will concentrate on their lead competencies and work closely together with the common aim to be a leader in each other’s sector. We want to service you in a reliable, efficient and flexible manner, so that your company can compete in its business, not only by selling quality products, but also by satisfying customers with high value logistics services with a fast and safe delivery of their goods.

Since our inception in 1998, we have developed according to our clients’ needs from a traditional freight forwarding company to a full service logistics provider. We provide all the necessary services for highly-engineered supply chain solutions and combine these with a range of warehousing and freight forwarding services to provide a complete solution.
