SEUR, a leader in express transport in Spain, has launched Singular by SEUR, an innovative platform designed to support a key part of the Spanish economy: SMEs. Since its inception, the company has worked closely with entrepreneurs, young businesses, and family-owned companies across the country, helping them grow and reach more customers both in Spain and globally through its international network with Geopost. Singular by SEUR is yet another tool to reinforce this alliance and supports a business network that is essential to Spain's economic fabric 

At its launch, the website has more than 500 products from various exclusive premium food brands, ranging from high-quality meats and cured products to cheeses, preserves, fruits, sweets, and honeys. Starting today, these gourmet products have a new premium showcase to highlight their qualities and inspire consumers worldwide 

According to SEUR's latest E-shopper Barometer, food and fresh products are in the top 10 most sold items online in Spain. In this regard, the platform will serve as a meeting point between users looking for premium food products and the SMEs specializing in this segment, enabling responsible consumption and supporting local businesses 

SEUR does not receive any commission or financial benefit from this initiative, since its only objective with this initiative is to give value to these businesses and help them reach more customers with their work and talent. For this reason, SEUR has appointed a team to select the brands featured on the platform based on criteria such as product quality, commitment to the local community, and exclusivity of the offering. 

"SMEs have been and continue to be strategic for the Spanish economy, and therefore for SEUR, as we are a reflection of how the country's economy functions. That’s why we want to boost their business, give them visibility through this platform, and reinforce our commitment to them. SEUR is a leader in the transportation sector because thousands of SMEs trust us. Additionally, to provide the best guarantees, this service will be handled by SEUR Frío, ensuring that the products arrive fresh from origin to destination. SEUR is a leading reference in the transport sector because we continuously adapt to the needs of all our customers."

SEUR Frío: The Perfect Partner for SMEs 

The food sector has become one of the key growth drivers for SEUR, especially after a significant increase in demand from online consumers following the pandemic. 

With steady growth, SEUR Frío has expanded its delivery capacity, increasing from 6,100 daily shipments to 7,000 in the past year, underscoring customers' growing preference for these services. This growth is supported by the expansion of its specialized fleet, which now includes over 400 vehicles, dedicated to both long-distance deliveries and local distribution. Additionally, 80 of the company's facilities are equipped with cold storage, enhancing its expertise in temperature-controlled transportation for temperature-sensitive products, such as fresh food. 

This excellence and commitment to continuous improvement have been recognized, as SEUR Frío became the first company to receive the ISO 23412 certification from AENOR, which regulates temperature-controlled transport.
