ur storage facilities play a very important role in daily operation, since effective global consolidation and distribution is a key to our success. Our vast range of items demands various storage conditions for different goods categories to maintain highest international quality standards and adherence to applicable customs regulations, including transit and non-EU approved items.
All storage facilities are routinely audited to guarantee cost-efficiency, product traceability and order tracking from placement to delivery. Flexible customer-specific labeling and palletizing are used to minimize logistics costs, provide optimal transportation and delivery conditions and reduce lead times during regular, transloading and intermodal shipping.
