The PDI service of Turku Free Zone Company combines warehousing, inspections, and pre-delivery preparations into one efficient package.
Vehicles and machinery are received, stored, and inspected before delivery to the dealer or end customer. This reduces unnecessary transfers, speeds up delivery times, and improves quality control. Everything takes place within the same logistical entity in Turku.
The service is particularly suitable for companies that import cars, tractors, or other heavy machinery and want to ensure that the products are ready for delivery and inspected before shipment. PDI intermediate storage brings cost savings and clarity to the supply chain.
For decades, we have offered premises for importers of vehicles and agricultural machinery, both as storage field areas and fitting and service workshops. In collaboration with other businesses, we have designed various spaces to operate in. The abbreviation PDI stands for Pre Delivery Inspection, meaning the inspection work done either in connection with import or before delivery.
All vehicles or machines can be inspected in a centralized manner in a single location, which leads to uniform service. inspection and equipment level. Several importers can utilize the same service concept at the same location, which leads to increased cost-effectiveness.
We have created spaces for our customers according to their wishes. Under the same roof you’ll find inspection and fitting facilities, pant shops and wash lines. This eliminates the need to transport vehicles to secondary locations before delivery. Inspection, service processes and intermediate storage can be handled at a single location before the vehicles or agricultural machinery is shipped to customers.
We have an optimal set-up for vehicle storage. As vehicles arrive to the port of Turku, they are transported to our premises along a private road, which means they do not need to be transported on public roads. Vehicles and agricultural machinery is always transported to us on arrival, either by us or our partners. We of course make sure that operators have the required license.
