Transportes Barceló delivers to supermarkets on Mallorca

Whilst the majority of Mallorcans are still asleep, the trucks from Transportes Barceló are already warming up in the Eroski logistics centre in Mercapalma. Starting at 4.30 a.m. goods are loaded up to be delivered to the customer two hours later: fish, meat, fruit and vegetables – everything is fresh for the supermarkets' customers. "We contribute towards reducing the time between production and availability of the product in the supermarket," says Bartolomé Barceló, managing director of Transportes Barceló.

He has been working in the sales sector for over 30 years. That is why he knows that punctuality and good service are "essential". Barceló explains that every morning the customer sends him a schedule for loading and unloading goods the following day. Once the schedule has been received the routes are distributed amongst the drivers. The aim? "To adhere strictly to the delivery times."

Thanks to this reliability, Barceló has been able to grow together with his most important customer – Eroski. "We always keep to the agreements, without exception," he says and points out that vehicles are always replaced immediately should they break down in order to guarantee a punctual delivery. "Our customer always knows exactly where their goods are and at which temperature they are being transported," he adds. Transportes Barceló doesn't just transport refrigerated goods for Eroski, but unrefrigerated merchandise too. "Almost every article the supermarket sells," he says.

Transportes Barceló also delivers to Eroski supermarkets on Ibiza and Menorca from Mallorca – the company transports the goods across the sea and completes the subsequent transport by road.
