Storage that does something
Warehousing and distribution
A warehouse is not just a place to leave things. Used properly it absorbs demand spikes, defers customs duty, and turns a container arriving once a month into deliveries that go out every week.

Most companies discover they need storage at an awkward moment: a container arrives before the customer is ready, a seasonal peak outgrows the racking, or a new export market needs a stock buffer closer to the customer. Buying warehouse capacity for those moments is expensive. Renting it by the pallet and by the month is not.
We handle storage as part of the transport chain rather than as a separate business. Goods arriving on one of our shipments can go straight into storage without a second handling charge, and outbound orders can be consolidated with our scheduled departures. That integration is where the actual saving sits.
Bonded, or customs, warehousing deserves a specific mention. Goods held under a customs warehouse procedure have not yet been imported in the legal sense, so no duty or import VAT falls due until they leave the warehouse for the Romanian market. If you import in container quantities and sell over months, that timing difference is real money kept in your business.

What we do
Pallet storage
Racked and block stacked storage by the pallet and by the week, with no long commitment required.
Bonded customs warehouse
Duty and import VAT deferred until the goods actually leave for the domestic market, with the customs records kept for you.
Cross docking
Inbound loads broken down and re-dispatched within hours, without the goods ever entering stock.
Order picking and packing
Pick to order at case or piece level, repacked and labelled to your customer requirements.
Stock visibility
Scanned receipts and dispatches with regular stock reporting, so your figures and ours agree.
Value added handling
Relabelling, kitting, shrink wrapping, palletising and inspection before goods continue their journey.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between normal and bonded warehousing?
In a normal warehouse the goods have already been imported, duty and import VAT are paid and the stock is legally in free circulation. In a customs warehouse the goods are physically in Romania but not yet imported, so nothing is due until they leave. If they are re-exported instead of sold locally, no EU duty is ever paid at all.
How is storage charged?
Usually per pallet per week, plus a handling charge when goods come in and when they go out. That structure suits fluctuating volumes because you pay for occupancy rather than for a fixed space. For steady, predictable volumes a flat monthly rate is sometimes cheaper and we will say so.
Can you receive goods that were not shipped by you?
Yes. We receive third party deliveries into storage regularly. Give us the expected arrival, the supplier reference and the packing list, and we check the goods in against it and report anything that does not match before signing for it.
What happens if stock is damaged on arrival?
We stop, photograph the damage against the packing documents and notify you before the goods are put away. Noting damage at receipt is what preserves your claim against the carrier or supplier. Goods that are accepted clean and found damaged later are much harder to claim for.
