Interview with Petralups

Strong foundation produces lasting partnership


Petralups Prod S.R.L
has been working closely with Van den Bosch since 2014 and more recently with Bulkio. Meeting up in Romania, carrier manager Razvan Banciu of Bulkio and owner Lucian Lupsor of Petralups discuss how a relationship built on punctuality, transparency and trust can grow into a long term partnership.

Lupsor: “Our partnership with Bulkio is defined by stability and reliability. From day one of our collaboration, we’ve been happy with how they handle things. Knowing there’s consistent work available gives us confidence and thanks to steady volumes our workflow remains regular. That’s a huge advantage for us as a transport company, because predictability in this sector is prized as much as gold.”

Banciu: “That stability is exactly what we’ve experienced too. Petralups works cleanly, transparently and consistently. Punctuality and quick responses in critical situations also make a real difference. Together we’ve built a strong foundation. That makes our cooperation sustainable and gives us confidence for the years ahead.”

Lupsor: “What sets Bulkio apart from other transport partners is simple: the partnership is focused on the long term. The platform also makes our work much easier – bidding on new routes is simple, invoicing takes less time and, once you’re familiar with it, the system is very user-friendly. Payments are also processed quickly.”

Banciu: “For new carriers looking to start working with Bulkio, my advice is to look at the advantages. Think of tailored offers based on your fleet and region, personal service and direct communication, a free platform with no hidden fees plus the convenience of self-billing and automatic payments. But above all: strong partnership.”

Lupsor: “Even in challenging situations, Bulkio works with us. Recently we had a capacity issue and couldn’t confirm an order, but they immediately found an alternative. That mutual understanding – even when we arrive early at a loading or unloading point – is the real strength of this partnership.”

Banciu: “And in the end, we want just one thing: to deepen our cooperation further. Because you can only build true long term success with mutual trust and transparency.”
