ZIEGLER Relocation, a former division of the ZIEGLER Group, which was acquired by the Demeco Group in 2018 has gone out of business in Belgium this 17 August of 2020. This company has since the sale no link with the ZIEGLER Group. Our thoughts go out to our formal employees.
The Ziegler Tours office relies on the group’s synergies to develop its vision of an efficient and responsive customer service. The agency is now looking to expand its team in order to back up the growth of its activities.
How can an agency grow while making a difference on a competitive and established market? That task belongs to Sonia Vinçon, branch manager of Ziegler Tours since February 2019. She’s tackling it with dynamism and pragmatism – values she got from her years as a charterer.
Her priority is customer satisfaction, more precisely problem resolution and the treatment of urgent requests. ‘Our clients don’t want to waste their time waiting for their correspondent to pick up the phone. This is why we do our maximum to ensure them reliability and an optimal reactivity’, Sonia Vinçon explains.
The manager of Ziegler Tours can rely on other Ziegler agencies to maintain this quality of service and to keep expanding the agency. As a matter of fact, the other agencies help her absorb unexpected peaks in activity and offer assistance on the commercial side.
‘If we need help to organise a transport, we know we can count on our colleagues in Bordeaux’, Sonia Vinçon explains. Far from being only calls for back up, these regular exchanges encourage feedback. ‘We’re trying to create added value in our trucking services for example, which is hard to make profits from. This is why it is interesting to compare our methodology with the other agencies”, she illustrates.
In order to expand its activities, the Ziegler Tours agency is now recruiting a new charterer, before maybe hiring an overseas specialist.
‘Many companies in the region wish to have only one negotiating partner for courier and chartering. We need to take this into account while still staying close to our clients. It is this proximity that brings us back clients who left for our competitors. This is one of the advantages of being a small agency within a bigger group’, Sonia Vinçon says.
Dans le cadre du développement de nos activités à Liège Airport, le Groupe a repris ce 30 juin 2020 la société Transports Rademaker.
Le 1er avril 2019, Ziegler avait déjà ouvert un bureau de fret aérien à l’aéroport de Liège. Notre présence sur cet aéroport essentiellement cargo et retenu par l’ OMS comme hub pour l’acheminement de fournitures à destination du personnel soignant a permis de booster les flux d’importation en collaboration avec nos bureaux en Chine et à Hong Kong, spécialement pendant la crise sanitaire, Rien qu’en Belgique, nous avons déjà importé plus de 100 millions de masques de protection et 3 millions de blouses d’infirmière depuis le début de la crise.
Fondée en 1975, la société Transports Rademaker développe des activités de transport et d’agence en douane. Son atout : un emplacement stratégique (terrain de 4.000 m² et entrepôt sous Douane de 1.000 m²) à 200 m à peine du terminal de chemin de fer où arrivent les trains de la ligne chinoise ZIH et à vol d’oiseau de l’aéroport de Liège LGG.
Désormais, Ziegler est donc propriétaire de ses propres installations sur LGG. De quoi permettre d’accélérer les activités en plein développement de Ziegler LGG, en étant à l’épicentre de la connectivité ferroviaire et aérienne à Liège, à côté des douanes, du train et de l’aéroport et dans la zone “e-commerce” pour les douanes.
Nous disposons de tous les atouts pour faire bénéficier nos clients de notre offre multimodale ( terrestre, maritime, aérien et logistique) mais aussi les solutions ferroviaires des Routes de la soie, l’e-commerce et les prestations douanières.

The new facility spanning 95,000 sq ft, comprises of three floors of office space and a modern warehouse reaching 12.5 metres in height. There are 17 loading doors and a large yard area spanning over 50 metres in depth, with parking for over 30 trailers. This facility is built at the DP World Logistics Park, adjacent to the UK’s newest deep sea port at London Gateway in Essex.
We are proud to also confirm that the building is the first on the park to obtain a ‘BREEAM OUTSTANDING’ rating, meaning it meets the world’s leading sustainability standards for the built environment.
Ziegler UK Ltd will offer its customers a range of value-added services from its London-centric logistics hub, handling import and export consignments, facilitating customs processes and deconsolidation of goods, providing an all-encompassing supply chain service that matches ever-evolving global market demands.
The move represents further expansion for Ziegler UK who now operate in 17 locations throughout the UK & Ireland, making it possible to offer a responsive and flexible local service across all aspects of the supply chain.
Lee Marshall, Managing Director of Ziegler UK, said: “Ziegler is committed to meeting its customers’ expectations at a local and regional level by offering the most responsive, agile and reliable logistics service from factory to point of sale. Our newest ‘best in class’ building at DP World London Gateway’s Logistics Park is in an unrivalled location, not only right beside DP World’s state-of-the-art deep sea port and rail network but in close proximity to London, the South East and all major access roads. This will allow us to continue to facilitate the fast global flow of goods, be a more agile and reliable supply chain in the future, save our clients money, while also ensuring a more sustainable supply chain that reduces carbon emissions and protects the environment.”
