We offer you added value in the logistical process by fully taking care of your product. In order to provide you with optimal service, we not only cater for your elementary transport needs, but will also go the extra mile for you. On the basis of your criteria and limiting conditions, we will, together with you, select the most suitable solutions for your specific transport needs.

For this purpose, we classify your product by following the next 4 steps:

Step 1: Dry or Liquid bulk?

Whether you supply us with dry or liquid bulk goods, we would like to know what kind of product is involved. This question is essential for determining the optimal equipment and the modality that suits your needs. No liquid, powdered, or gritty product can be dealt with in a standard way and therefore requires specific treatment.

Step 2: Food or Non-Food/Chemicals?

In our capacity of bulk specialist, we offer you full logistic solutions, both in the food and non-food/chemistry sector. That, our loading units are strictly separated and fully harmonised with regard to the various market segments goes without saying.

Step 3: Road transport or Intermodal transport?

We offer you the choice between road, water and rail, or a combination of these options. In the case of intermodal transport we can service you on a global level. We consider this type of transport extremely suitable for maintaining a high level of flexibility and a competitive edge regarding tailor-made solutions for your flows of commodity. Based on your specific questions, we will opt for road transport or a intermodal solution. Our fleet contains the right equipment and material for both segments.

Step 4: Tailor-made Materials Services

Finally, we determine which instrument is best suited to your product. Our experts know exactly what equipment is most suitable for your product and your, possible, limiting logistic conditions.

Equipment is assigned on the basis of the properties of product types such as:
- Product classification
- Specific gravity
- Viscosity / flow characteristics

A number of other criteria also determine the final choice of equipment, among which are:
- Optimalisation of weights
- Loading and discharging technique
- Cleaning guidelines
- Legal limiting conditions
- Temperature control

Our expertise in these areas allows us to provide you with excellent advice in this
last step of the process and to take optimal care of your products during all stages of the logistic chain.
