Case Study Question #1: Your hatchery business is looking for a logistics partner whom you can rely on to safely deliver day-old chicks to growers’ farm sites. S.Cargo is in the running and is clear ahead of the competition in your evaluation.
Based in Hungary and led by Benedek Skuba, S.Cargo is a family-run trucking business specialising in day-old chick transport. After some research, you discover the Skuba has been buying trucks from market-leading VEIT Electronics for the last 10 years.
VEIT manufactures climate-controlled DOC trailers capable of replicating the hatchery/brooder environment en-route to the grower’s facility.
