Independent Surveyor for Quality Assurance in Food Imports and Exports

Independent inspections of goods, storage and transport to enable early identification of quality risks and to provide professional substantiation of damages and claims.

Increasing quality requirements, complex logistics processes and international certification standards present food importers and exporters with steadily growing challenges. Independent inspections and technically sound assessments of goods, storage and transport are essential to ensure product quality and to minimize commercial risks.

Cargo Handling Mathias Bremer e.K. supports food importers and exporters as an independent surveyor and specialized service provider in the fields of quality assurance, consulting, damage analysis and claim management.

Our Role – Securing Quality, Minimizing Risk

As an independent interface between procurement, warehouse logistics and quality assurance departments, we assess the condition of goods and verify their compliance with customer-specific and regulatory requirements. Our inspections include, among others:

proper handling of goods
storage conditions and warehouse hygiene
transport-related influencing factors
product-specific quality and condition characteristics

Experience That Protects

Based on in-depth knowledge of the product-specific characteristics of a wide range of food products, we conduct condition assessments of entire consignments and reliably identify product defects and deficiencies such as swelling, leakages or loss of vacuum. Existing claims are professionally supported through:

targeted damage mitigation
structured root cause analysis
development of preventive measures to avoid future complaints

Why Cargo Handling?

Neutral & Independent - objective assessments exclusively in the interest of our clients.
Practical & On Site - direct presence at goods, warehouses and transport operations – no purely theoretical consulting.
Technically Sound & Solution-Oriented - Surveyor expertise combined with hands-on operational experience in international food logistics.
