Ocean World Lines Opens Its Third Office in Poland Today
Lake Success, New York – Ocean World Lines (OWL), <http://www.owlusa.com/> a global, single source NVOCC (non-vessel operating common carrier) and a subsidiary of Pacer International, Inc., opens its third office in Poland today located at the country’s capital and largest city of Warsaw.
OWL’s Warsaw branch office is situated one kilometer from the largest airport in Poland and offers air, ocean, trucking, warehousing and customs clearance services with specific expertise in the region. The office acts as a regional hub to control and manage all import and export activities for OWL’s customers who have their registered offices and management located in Warsaw.
“Not even a year has passed and OWL is opening its third office in Poland – this is obviously a thriving part of the world,” said Cord Brügge, managing director, Ocean World Lines Europe. “The first two offices are situated in the port cities of Gdynia and Szczecin, whereas Warsaw is located in the central part of Poland and is the biggest city with its population of 1.7 million citizens. We needed this location to be closer to our clients and to provide them with direct care on the highest level.”
The new Warsaw office is part of OWL’s continued expansion in Eastern Europe. “We are seeing more and more manufacturing in this region which has led to a shift in sourcing from Asia to Eastern European factories,” said Bruegge.
“By opening offices in Gdynia, Szczecin, and now Warsaw we are increasing the geographic locations our customers have to select from in one of the hottest economies in Europe,” said Bruegge. “When you look at how fast Poland is developing, our growing presence there will help us better serve our customers’ shipping needs and offer the most flexibility.”
The new office is located at: Ocean World Lines Poland Sp. z o.o., Sabały 58, 02-174 Warsaw, Poland
