Due to the COVID-19 situation the SanLucar group and its closest partners - the agricultural producers, Fresaflor, Llusar and Poveda - have taken action to support truck drivers in the development of their daily work. This is the free distribution of an individual kit of food, drink and fresh fruit, available to these professionals in the loading and unloading platforms that the company has in Spain, Germany and Austria.

Stephan Rötzer, founder and owner of the SanLucar group explained "At SanLucar, we know that truckers are facing new challenges these days, enduring long queues at border crossings or the absence of open bars and restaurants along the way. And even so, they continue to strive, aware of how crucial the work they do is. They are our anonymous heroes"

"It's time for a closer collaboration between all of us, in a context where the entire value chain of the food sector is doing an outstanding job in supplying the market with such basic products as fruit and vegetables" concludes Rötzer.
