The key to making deliveries on time is our international storage and transport logistics system — highly flexible and always focused on the customer.

Our 30,000 m2 hazardous materials warehouse is located right next to our production centre. Here we store and pick all goods using fully automated processes, before preparing them for dispatch. When doing so, we focus on extra value added services for you, e.g. in the form of tinting on demand, putting together promotional sets, e-commerce and store-friendly pallets.

Our goal for each of your orders is efficient, resource-friendly, cost-effective and individual logistics.
