Operations Update:

We have received notification of a price increase to some of our lanes from Europe. We are currently negotiating and do not have final figures or start dates for when they will take effect. Beyond this, we have also seen fuel surcharges on drayage take steep increases and are anticipating BAF rates to go up. Once we have all of the information we will most likely have to increase our LCL rates and our fuel surcharge with a tentative June 1st start date on the new pricing.

We’re Heading to Düsseldorf!

Elenteny will be in Düsseldorf, checking out ProWein, Europe’s largest fair for wine and spirits May 15th, 16th and 17th.  We are looking forward to the opportunity to meet with many of you.   If you will be at ProWein and would like to meet with us, please reach out to support@elentenyimports.com
