Customers and partners benefit from our prominent location at Europe's largest inland port: With the ports of Walsum-Süd, where general cargo is handled, and Schwelgern, where raw materials are delivered, as well as the connected storage units, we provide tried-and-tested and state-of-the-art hubs for your handling and warehouse logistics on the strategically important Rhine waterway axis. Our logistics hub links ship and rail in particular for sustainable transport development.
