As producers and traders in the Rhineland chemical region in Germany seem to have more storage capacity available for filled tank containers since this spring, the liquid bulk logistics company Kube & Kubenz, which operates throughout Europe, recently expanded the storage area of its branch in Bergheim, Germany.
The company created 120 new storage spaces for filled tank containers of hazardous material in categories 3, 8 and 9, while 25 Kube & Kubenz employees organise multimodal transport and storage services for resilient supply chains in the chemical industry at this site.
The site serves as a transshipment hub and serves the industry in one of the largest chemical regions in the European Single Market from all over the world. Existing storage capacity for unclassified goods will be available to Kube & Kubenz’s customers in Bergheim as usual, while the site’s portfolio also includes 250 storage spaces for empty tank containers and 40 tractor units.
“Expanding this location makes us even more attractive to our customers in the chemicals industry because our secure tank containers, monitored 24/7, shorten and make logistics chains more efficient. At the same time, these investments are ensuring jobs at this location in the long term,” stated Olaf Fügemann, manager of Kube & Kubenz‘s branch in Bergheim.
