OAKLAND INTERNATIONAL STRENGTHENS IRISH LOGISTICS PRESENCE WITH EXPANDED INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT DIVISION

Oakland International, a trusted logistics operator in Ireland since 2009, has expanded its capabilities under the Oakland International Freight division, strengthening its position in the Irish cold chain and wider supply chain sector while offering businesses across Ireland, the UK, Europe, and global markets a seamless, fully integrated freight solution.

Building on more than a decade of established operations in Ireland and a well‑developed UK network, the company provides customers with a dependable partner for international transport at a time when demand for resilient, compliant, and temperature‑controlled logistics continues to rise.

International Freight Director Enda Maher commented: “Since 2009, Oakland International has been committed to supporting Irish industry, and the growth of our International Freight division marks the next exciting step in that journey. We’re matching our local expertise with global reach, helping customers move goods more efficiently, more confidently, and with a service experience that stands out in the market.”

Oakland International Freight coordinates complex logistics movements across road and sea both to Europe and Rest of World with a focus on efficiency, clarity, and consistency. The division supports full and part‑load road transport throughout Ireland, the UK, and continental Europe, and manages temperature‑controlled, ambient, and specialised oversized consignments for food producers, retailers, and pharma clients. Its capabilities extend into European container solutions, deep sea shipping to major global ports, access to temperature‑controlled and standard warehousing across Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, and other key European locations.

As regulatory requirements evolve, Oakland International Freight provides expert customs and compliance support for imports, exports, transit, and associated procedures, including GVMS, GMR, EXS, and ENS, ensuring clients benefit from efficient processing and complete confidence in accurate, reliable documentation and border management.

“A lot of the challenges businesses face when moving goods in and out of Ireland come down to complexity and visibility,” added Enda. “Our job is to remove both. By combining our Irish operation with the strength of the Oakland International Freight network, we’re delivering a seamless, transparent freight solution customers can rely on every day.”

With continued investment in infrastructure, people, and strategic partnerships, Oakland International Freight reinforces the group’s reputation as a trusted and customer‑focused logistics provider. Its expanded service offering supports the growing need for dependable cold chain flows between Ireland, the UK, and Europe, particularly for time‑sensitive food and pharmaceutical products. For businesses seeking an experienced partner capable of delivering a seamless freight journey from Ireland to global markets, Oakland International Freight offers reliability without compromise.
