Every day around the world, companies are involved in transporting huge volumes of raw materials to their factories for use in the manufacture of all manner of products. Similarly, once produced, these finished goods must then be transported to distributors, retailers and to end users in every part of the world.
Rotterdam provides SIA with a stable, rewarding and internationally oriented business climate. The second city of the Netherlands is an excellent choice, and is the ideal entry point for the European markets.
The Netherlands: an internationally oriented country
The Netherlands is a very internationally oriented country. People from all over the world live and work here. Rotterdam is home to over 170 nationalities and over 30,000 expats, giving the city a very global and cosmopolitan personality.

SIA are happy to give back to the local community by supporting the Tidy Towns Committee. There has been a Tidy Town group in Carn almost for over fifty years ago. The current group was formed in 1998 when a handful of interested individuals met in and set up the Carndonagh Tidy Town Association. Clean-ups were organised and carried out on a regular basis. Much good work was done.
Besides the cost savings – a flexi fits in 32,000 bottle equivalents compared with the 9,000 a container full of pallets carries Bulk shipping is being adopted for its eco-friendliness.
First, the flexitanks weight is mostly wine, whereas glass bottles weigh 300 grams at the lower end to and nearly 1kg at the irresponsible upper end.
Great show with one of my fellow Rodeo members and our wives. Pics of some of the events and riders, one close in name to Eunan, a bull rider, bull won. Mutten bustin for kids 4-6 in age, probably the rodeo favorite.
This show has grown in size since I started volunteering from 5000 members to over 30000 this year. They have given away over 18000 scholarships to kids since its inception and the entertainers only ask enough to cover their travel expenses and the rest of the proceeds goes back to HLSR for distribution to cover all the other costs & expenses.
SIA are delighted to be the main sponsor for Glengad FC. A sponsorship that goes back for almost 10 years.
Glengad have been crowned League Champions for the past years and are currently top of the league going for a unique four in a row.
Glengad have also won the league cup in four of the past five years.
The new kit is looking good!
