On the 7th of February 2017, EKOL Greece received a Gold Award during the annual ceremony of the Transport & Logistics Awards in Athens. The award is in the category Freight Transportation & Freight Forwarding for the sector of International Freight Transports.
The Transport & Logistics Awards have been organised for a third consecutive year by Supply Chain Institute in Greece and Boussias Communications and they have already become an institution in industry.
“I am very happy and proud that we received this award. It shows we have chosen the right strategy and we keep developing in Greece and outside in other countries. For example, we have just opened a new block train connection so our Greek customers can use proper intermodal services to send shipments to Scandinavia. Since Ekol entered the Greek market, investments in this country have amounted to around 5 m Euro. This award is a proof we invested it well”, said Dimitris Batakis, Country Manager of EKOL Greece.
This award is to recognise and reward the labour and hard work of all colleagues in Greece since EKOL’s foundation in the country in 2012. Although EKOL is a relatively new company in Greece, its continuous investments and business developments have established it as one of the leading companies in the field of transport. In 2017, with coordinated actions of the administration and along with the support of our mother company and 12 other Ekol subsidiaries, we hope that we will make even a stronger presence in the market.
