SAM Algeciras, a logistics platform located in the hinterland of the port of Algeciras, has recently renewed the certification that authorises it to operate with organic products in accordance with the standards required by European regulations. This renewal allows the platform to continue offering specialised services in the agri-food sector. A sector in constant evolution and with an increasing need for transparency, sustainable practices and quality guarantees.
The company, which forms part of the logistics division of Alonso Group, thus continues with its strategy of diversification and operational excellence. The best way to position itself as a logistics benchmark in southern Europe for perishable and high value-added goods.
Ensuring traceability and sustainability
The organic certificate, issued by the Sohiscert control entity (SHC), guarantees that SAM Algeciras complies with the requirements for the handling, storage and conservation of organic products. This includes the proper separation of goods, document control, staff training and the ability to maintain optimum refrigeration conditions, thus ensuring the integrity of the products at all stages of the logistics chain.
Thanks to this accreditation, the logistics platform can handle organic products destined mainly for European markets, where certification and regulatory compliance are determining factors. This recognition reinforces the company’s commitment to quality, food safety and respect for the environment, values that are increasingly in demand by international operators and consumers.
Location, an added value
The renewal of this certificate is particularly relevant in a context where the multimodal logistics platform is positioned as a key node for the efficient and sustainable handling of agri-food goods. Thanks to its strategic location, with direct access to the Mediterranean motorway, its proximity to the port of Algeciras and the future connection to the national rail network, SAM Algeciras facilitates fast and safe transit between different modes of transport. This capacity to operate in an integrated manner reduces time, costs and the environmental footprint, aspects that are especially valued in the management of ecological products. This synergy between logistical innovation and respect for the environment positions the platform as a strategic partner for customers seeking specialised and responsible solutions in an increasingly demanding market.
