Foodcareplus Logistics and Heuer launch strategic partnership for Polish apple exports

Multi-year collaboration kicks off during the 2026-2027 export season

Foodcareplus Logistics and Heuer are joining forces in a long-term partnership designed to support Polish apple growers and exporters in their international growth ambitions. The 2026-2027 export season marks the official launch of this strategic collaboration, focused on delivering greater flexibility, specialized expertise, cold-chain transloading capabilities, and enhanced logistics solutions to the Polish fruit sector.

Poland remains one of the world’s leading apple-producing countries, supplying growing volumes to markets across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. As these trade flows continue to expand, exporters increasingly require logistics solutions that go beyond simply booking containers.

Local support in Poland

Agata Wiloch plays a key role in the partnership as the local link between Polish exporters and the international Foodcareplus-Heuer network.
Thanks to her in-depth knowledge of the Polish market and close relationships with growers and exporters, logistics requirements and market opportunities can be identified at an early stage. This enables export programs to be coordinated more effectively and ensures direct access to specialist support throughout the shipping process.

Flexible access to Northern European gateways

Rather than relying on a single port or fixed routing model, Foodcareplus Logistics and Heuer assess each shipment individually to determine the most suitable logistics solution.

The partnership leverages a broad network of Northern European gateways, ranging from Gdynia and Gdansk to the German ports and Antwerp. This flexibility allows exporters to benefit from multiple routing options depending on destination, transit requirements, equipment availability, and market conditions.

In addition, the partnership offers cold-chain transloading solutions across the entire gateway network, enabling cargo to be transferred from reefer trailers to reefer containers in strategically located facilities across Germany and Belgium. This provides exporters with greater routing flexibility, improved equipment availability, and access to a wider range of ocean services while maintaining full temperature control throughout the process.

More than transportation

The collaboration combines expertise in fresh produce logistics, cold chain management, and international supply chain coordination.

From pre-carriage and reefer management to documentation and shipment monitoring, exporters benefit from specialist guidance throughout the entire process.

Because behind every container is a commercial commitment between an exporter and a customer.

Investing in the future of the Polish apple industry

The partnership has been established with a clear long-term vision: supporting Polish apple exporters with a logistics platform that evolves alongside their international ambitions.

By combining local presence, specialist expertise, flexible access to multiple Northern European gateways, and temperature-controlled transloading capabilities, Foodcareplus Logistics and Heuer aim to contribute to the continued global growth of Polish apples.

“This partnership is not about a single export season. The 2026-2027 season marks the start of a long-term journey in which we will support Polish exporters with specialist knowledge, flexible logistics solutions, and access to an international network. Together with Heuer, we are building a sustainable platform for the future growth of Polish apple exports.”
