Dear readers! We present to your attention the third issue of the LOGISTICS journal for 2025. Our editorial staff, like all our colleagues, is preparing for the TransRussia 2025 exhibition, the largest event in the industry. In this issue, we have prepared an interview with Natalia Lomunova, Director of TransRussia, with whom we are talking about a flexible approach, new participants and digital services. We continue the series of articles from P.V.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the first issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2025. First of all, we would like to draw readers' attention to our new partner R1 Development, a development company that creates a new generation environment and specializes in the construction of industrial, logistics, commercial and residential real estate. One of the projects of R1 Development is the Druzhba industrial park network.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the final issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2024. We have tried to make it rich and interesting. Today, many Russian companies operate under strict sanctions restrictions, which force them to reorient logistics flows. One of the possible solutions to this problem may be the Russia – Mongolia – China economic corridor. Details can be found in the article by Alexandra Kazunina.
Pallet pooling has helped the dairy producer prevent 4.6 tonnes of waste generation and reduce CO2 emissions by 56 tonnes
AISFER, the vertically integrated Russian high-quality dairy producer, was awarded an Environmental Compliance Certificate recognizing its contribution to reducing its impact on the environment. Thanks to its 100% transition to the pooling model with CHEP reusables for the last year, the company succeeded in cutting its greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation, not to mention saving a significant amount of forest resources.
As a responsible high-quality producer, AISFER is focused on implementing innovative business models, one of which is reusable container pooling. Repeat usage of CHEP wooden pallets increases the business’ operational efficiency, optimizing its consumption of resources and reducing its environmental footprint. Such an approach ensures the sustainable development of the business without harm to the planet. The result of the first year of collaboration between AISFER and CHEP is a significant contribution to environmental protection. 100% transitioning to the pooling model has led to СО2 emissions being halved (by 56.1 tonnes), to waste generation being cut by 77% and to 72% more timber being saved.
“The year 2020 turned out to be difficult for most companies. Nevertheless, CHEP proved itself to be a reliable partner, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of pallets,” remarked Sergey Solomonidin, Deputy Logistics Director at AISFER. “We are proud that our working together is not only effective from the point of view of supplies but also that it benefits the environment”.
“We are glad that more and more companies are taking steps towards transiting to the closed loop economy, reducing their impact on the environment,” declared Andrey Pisartsov, CEO of CHEP. “We are sure that pooling of reusable containers will soon become standard practice for Russian business”.
In honor of their first year of successful cooperation, employees of CHEP and AISFER transplanted an avenue of maple and cedar trees which now adorns the grounds at AISFER.
