orben Nybo Jensen, Regional Director of Business Development, Asia says: “Customer demand has dictated that we need to establish own representation in Myanmar even though we are already highly represented in the South East Asian countries. Our European Fast Fashion customers are increasingly shifting manufacturing from China into countries such as Myanmar, and with the on-going Sino-US trade tension, also many US based fashion & retail brands are now showing an interest in this market.” As a start, the Myanmar team is primarily handling the logistics of customers within fashion and retail; import of raw material and export of ready-made garments for delivery
Siemens’ gearless drive technology powers high-capacity overland conveyor in Quellaveco

TX
Logistik AG is exploring opportunities for a new intermodal connection between Oradea in Romania and the Rhine-Ruhr area of Germany. During a presentation attended by around 100 people at the Oredea terminal near the Hungarian border, initial discussions were conducted with representatives from
6 Industry Europe
in the US, the Japanese and the European markets. In addition, the team is highly engaged with solutions that will help manage supply chains easier in peak seasons, and
they will be offering a range of intermodal solutions as valuable alternatives to normal air and ocean freight. Visit: www.scangl.com

reserves – enough to wire 80 million homes or equip 90 million electric vehicles. With the rugged landscape in Quellaveco, transporting the primary crushed ore requires durable and efficient technology systems. By employing Siemens’ technology on this project, thyssenkrupp’s new conveyor system will transport 127,500 tons of primary crushed ore per day from the pit to the stockpile adjacent to the copper concentrator. Vast sections of the overland conveyor must traverse from one valley to another through a 3.2 km long tunnel. After exiting the tunnel, the conveyor will pass over hilly terrain before feeding the stockpile. “This order again shows how gearless conveyor systems meet today’s demand for ever more efficient mining solutions and increased safety requirements,” said Torsten Gerlach, CEO of thyssenkrupp’s Mining Technologies business unit.” Visit: www.siemens.com/mining-digitalization

forwarding agents and logistics companies and other Romanian industries. In addition, TXL demonstrated on the spot how semi-trailers and road vehicles can be simply put on the rails with the innovative transhipment systems NiKRASA and roadrailLink. “We still see considerable growth opportunities for intermodal transport on the west-east axis,” says Berit Börke, CSO
of TX Logistik. “Romania in particular is a market with potential for new connections to Western Europe.” Since spring 2018, the railway logistics company has been operating an open train connection between Cologne and Curtici in Romania with five round trips a week. Megatrailers are mainly transported on that route. Visit: www.txlogistik.eu
