The successful collaboration between McCain Appetizers Europe BV and Droogijs-shop.nl

International shipping of frozen food samples poses a logistical challenge. It is a daily routine at McCain Appetizers Europe BV. With the help of Droogijs-shop.nl, everything runs smoothly, according to Logistics employee Ellen van Kaam.

Secure Shipping

The tasty appetizers, such as vegetable fries and cheese snacks, fly around the world to introduce (potential) customers to the products of McCain Appetizers Europe BV. It is important that the snacks remain frozen. Dry ice is the perfect solution for this. Due to the extremely low temperature of dry ice (-79 degrees) and because dry ice sublimates instead of melting, products remain perfectly frozen and no moisture is created in the packaging.

Shipping arranged from start to finish

McCain Appetizers Europe BV and Droogijs-shop.nl have been working together for over a year now and Ellen is very satisfied with the collaboration. “There are short lines with Droogijs-shop.nl, which makes the communication and collaboration run smoothly”. Droogijs-shop.nl has recently started taking care of the shipments in addition to the dry ice. The entire shipping process is therefore arranged from A to Z. And that works: “It is very nice that Droogijs-shop now also takes care of the shipping, we no longer have to worry about it ourselves,” says Ellen.

Efficient processes

By testing together, the shipping processes are becoming more efficient: “We just started and kept trying and fine-tuning new things. As a result, we now know exactly how many kilos of dry ice we need per destination and product,” says Ellen. Dozens of shipments are now booked every month to safely deliver the samples to the most diverse destinations; worldwide.

“There are short lines with Droogijs-shop.nl, which means communication and cooperation run smoothly.”

Successful collaboration

What does Ellen like about working with Droogijs-shop.nl? “I only have to email one person. That makes communication very smooth and fast. If I email the Droogijs-shop.nl team in the morning, I receive dry ice the same day. Everyone is on the same page, which makes working together very pleasant.”
