Speed and security

Strong specialized partner network

Fashion requires flexibility - but also reliability. That's why Rotra works with a carefully constructed network of specialized partners selected on the basis of experience in the fashion industry. From first-mile carriers in Asia to European distribution hubs and last-mile delivery companies, our partners understand the specific requirements of fashion logistics - such as delicate handling, time-critical deliveries and seasonal volumes.

For delicate items or store-ready deliveries, we also offer Garments on Hanger (GOH) logistics, including GOH containers, so clothes arrive wrinkle-free and ready to sell.

Flexible and smooth

Fixed allocations and smart consolidation

Thanks to fixed allocations on key trade routes, we offer speed and delivery certainty, even during busy periods or market disruptions.

For brands with fluctuating volumes, we also offer a powerful alternative with our Less than Container Load ( LCL) line services. With these, we consolidate smaller shipments into fixed groupage containers on frequent routes between Asia and Europe. So you benefit from reliable transit times and lower costs, without compromising on visibility or speed. Combined with our digital control tower rotraNext, you keep full control of the supply chain even for smaller volumes - ideal for collections delivered in phases or for quick replenishment from stock.
