Bertschi celebrated 25 years of operation at its container terminal G80 in ChemPark Leverkusen, Germany at the end of August.
G80 terminal has been in operation since 1999, making it 25 years old this year. It was the first place in ChemPark Leverkusen to implement a fully integrated logistics solution.
This concept allows producers to eliminate land tanks, but transfers material directly into transportable containers, cutting costs and streamlining the process for immediate transport.
This container-based concept also creates more flexibility and enables shorter lead times of supply to their respective customer.
At the event, Bertschi also implemented its new ‘Last Mile’ logistics concept together with a global key account customer.
Over the past two years, this concept has been jointly developed to improve inbound receipt and intermediate storage, heating, and shunting of tank containers on demand to nearby production facilities within the ChemPark. Bertschi was prepared to invest significantly in terminal infrastructure and special transport equipment, and added qualified full-time employees to ensure it could manage the additional volumes and site operations with a two-shift system smoothly during the agreed contract period and beyond.
Silver lining for Bertschi as it marks 25 years in ChemPark Leverkusen
