Ice hockey team relies on LAGO LOGISTICS (Finland) to assure fast and secure deliveries
For LAGO LOGISTICS, your new Pangea partner in Finland, logistics means much more than just delivering a parcel from A to B. It involves familiarising themselves with the case at hand, listening to the customer’s wishes, pricing, and finding the optimal route and means of transportation.
They take pride in offering their customers and partners a premium service every single time. Like the LAGO Express solutions trusted by one of the top ice hockey teams in Finland, Tappara, to assure fast and secure deliveries.
Tappara play back-to-back matches in the Finnish and European hockey leagues.
The best 32 ice hockey teams in Europe play in the Champions Hockey League, or CHL. The CHL has kept Tappara busy for several years: in fact, Tappara is the only Finnish team that has played in the CHL every year! The trips around Europe can be busy and stressful for the players. Fortunately, the transportation of their gear to the destination country is something they do not have to worry about: the company behind the team has signed a contract with LAGO Logistics Oy on the transportation of their gear to European destinations and, obviously, back to Finland. The team usually has a domestic game very soon after arriving back home, which is why speed and reliability played a key role in selecting the logistics partner for the team.
“The gear to be transported, including that of the coaches and staff, weighs up to 1,200 kg. When you think about dozens of ice hockey sticks and helmets, you can imagine that the bags and boxes are extremely varied in their shape and size,” the Sales and Development Manager and a staff member at Tappara, explain.
Players take the plane
“The players don’t need to worry about packing – that’s our job. There may be up to 12 containers and 25 large hockey bags, that’s nearly 40 parcels of different shapes and sizes,” they add.
The equipment containers are loaded at the local ice hockey arena in Tampere, and the journey to the destination begins. The team usually opts for flights to their destination. When the team arrives at the ice hockey arena at the destination, their equipment is already there waiting. After the game, the packing and transportation back home begins.
Tight schedules create pressure
“Our collaboration with LAGO has been exemplary. Our gear has always been delivered to the destination as agreed and is always on time. I hope we can collaborate soon again. We certainly can’t blame logistics if we don’t win our games,” say Tappara’s satisfied support team.
