Bulk delivery refers to the consolidated shipment of food products to logistical hubs within the TEIKEI network.
Unlike parcel delivery, goods are transported as bulk cargo—such as on pallets or in roll containers—using suitable transport vehicles.
Deliveries are made directly to main communities, distribution warehouses, or regional consolidation points.
Bulk delivery requires sufficient goods to be consolidated for an economically viable shipment.
A logistical delivery volume must be achieved. Only through this consolidation can regional and Europe-wide goods flows be organized efficiently.
Bulk delivery typically follows this transport chain:
Production → Collection Warehouse → Distribution Warehouse → Main Community
or
Production → Regional Consolidation → Main Community
Depending on the structure, individual steps may be omitted or added.
Deliveries are usually carried out using suitable bulk transport vehicles, such as:
These vehicles transport consolidated shipments for multiple products simultaneously.
Bulk delivery forms the foundation of an economical regional and Europe-wide food supply system.
By consolidating multiple orders, it enables:
It connects production, storage, and communities into a shared supply structure.
Bulk delivery supplies logistical hubs.
How goods are further distributed within a main community or to individual households is independent of this process.
Smaller quantities or individually shippable products can instead be sent via parcel delivery.
Bulk delivery connects consolidated goods flows with the logistical hubs of the TEIKEI network, forming the foundation of an economical food supply system.
