LTP Import & Export: distribution of Asian food and non-food products across Europe
Read how LTP Import & Export works towards more control, speed and alignment in a growing European distribution network, together with Newcorp Logistics.
“Logistics directly impacts our turnover. It has to run smoothly every day. Speed is crucial. This is something we can openly discuss with Newcorp.”
Growing volumes require speed, compliance and coordination
Importing food products into Europe is not just about transport. It requires continuous alignment between logistics execution, customs compliance and changing EU regulations.
LTP Import & Export imports products directly from Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, China, Korea and Japan. These goods are distributed to Asian supermarkets across Europe, including the UK, Switzerland and Norway.
The product range includes both food and non-food items, with a big part of the portfolio subject to strict food regulations. This creates a constant need for accurate documentation, up-to-date compliance and reliable handling.
“EU regulations are a challenge because they keep changing. In food, there are so many rules that you always need to stay up to date,” says Linh Nguyen, operations director at LTP Import & Export. At the same time, operational speed is critical. Orders need to move quickly from warehouse to customer to stay competitive in a market where delivery times directly influence customer satisfaction.
Speed as a critical factor in a growing operation
Before working with Newcorp, LTP experienced limitations in scalability and responsiveness. As volumes increased to over 400 import containers per year, combined with daily outbound shipments across Europe, the former setup no longer matched their growth.
The main requirements from LTP are clear:
- Fast and predictable warehouse processing to meet customer expectations.
- Seamless coordination between order handling and outbound transport to avoid delays.
In a market where competitors deliver quickly, customer satisfaction depends directly on speed and reliability. Delays in order processing directly impact the end customer. “Our turnover really depends on the activity of our logistics partner. So a smooth operation is very important,” says Linh. For LTP, this means logistics is not just an operational function, but a critical factor in staying competitive and maintaining service levels across Europe.
Building a scalable structure for European distribution
LTP started working with Newcorp Logistics to create a structure that could support further growth while maintaining control over logistics and compliance.
Newcorp provides:
- Warehousing and fulfillment.
- Coordination of inbound containers and outbound distribution.
- Customs handling and documentation.
- Alignment between logistics operations and EU compliance requirements.
Goods arrive in containers from Asia and are stored in the warehouse before being distributed across Europe via road transport, ranging from single pallets to full truckloads. The focus of the cooperation is not only execution, but continuous alignment.
A partnership built on continuous alignment
As operations scale, maintaining consistency in execution requires ongoing coordination. For LTP, this means staying closely involved in how processes are organised and adjusted over time. The cooperation with Newcorp is structured around regular alignment. Performance, planning and operational bottlenecks are discussed directly, allowing both sides to respond quickly when needed. “When something impacts our operations, we address it immediately,” says Linh.
This way of working ensures that issues are not left unresolved, but addressed as part of the process. Adjustments in capacity, communication and workflows are made where necessary to keep operations moving and aligned with demand.
Newcorp has expanded the team and further structured its internal organisation to support this. This results in clearer communication lines and more consistent follow-up. “I see improvement. They added more people and the operation is getting better,” says Linh. For LTP, this level of cooperation is essential. Logistics is directly linked to customer satisfaction and revenue. Which requires a partner who can adapt, scale and align logistics, customs and compliance in one process.
“They are an important partner for us. Our growth depends on how well logistics performs.”
Supporting daily operations in a growing network
Operating across multiple European countries with a wide range of products requires reliable coordination between warehouse, transport and documentation. For LTP, this means that inbound containers, order processing and outbound distribution need to align on a daily basis.
Newcorp supports this by handling warehousing, coordinating transport and managing the required documentation, so goods can move from arrival to delivery across Europe. As volumes grow, this coordination becomes more important. It allows LTP to continue supplying customers across different countries while working towards faster and more consistent delivery. “We work together to meet the goals we set together,” says Linh.
