The international feel of Sealogis Belgium: Creating Solutions Worldwide!

Alla Van Bers, Import coordinator

In a working environment with various nationalities, you definitely get more insights and new ideas. Alla Van Bers, Import coordinator, agrees. Alla is of Russian origin and has worked at Sealogis Freight Forwarding Belgium for 5 years now. She has lived in Belgium for 20 years.

“I like the challenges of a freight forwarding company and the daily contacts with customs, carriers and customers.” (Alla Van Bers, Import Coordinator)

Arranging the import of goods from a to z

In line with the One-stop-shop concept of Sealogis Belgium Alla takes care of Sealogis customers from a to z. As an import coordinator, she handles the import of goods. She is also in charge of the import from, the necessary customs documents for and the delivery to various, often European, countries. Because the job requires some talent to negotiate the right rates, Alla has strong administrative and commercial skills.

“Our customers appreciate that total service. Many have been customers for years and new companies arrive at our doorstep through references. That says it all. Sealogis has an excellent reputation in the maritime world.”

International work environment of Sealogis Freight Forwarding

Alla loves her international work environment. The international employees in the company give a boost to Sealogis' growth and to the performance of their jobs, she believes. “We come into contact with different cultural backgrounds, which is enriching. Compared to the Belgians, I am quite direct in character and I am quick to speak my mind. This diversity of characters and cultures is what adds value to the company.”

 “Working for Sealogis means stability for me, the peripheral issues are well organised and we have good labour conditions here.”

“I enjoy working with colleagues from different places and countries,” says Daniel Diaz. He was born in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, and arrived in Belgium with his mother at the age of 13. A few years ago, he joined Sealogis Freight Forwarding Belgium.

My international origin is an asset. I come from a culture of negotiation and have experience with it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
