BLG Logistics serves as gateway to the world

Globalisation has changed Asia's position on the economic map, making any company's presence in the region a driver for success. Understanding the advantages of powerful ties with Asia early on, BLG Logistics established representative offices in Shanghai and Beijing. 

"Our management know-how in handling, seamless inland connectivity and high port productivity track record prove that we are the ideal partner for Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) wanting to export cars to northern Europe or anywhere in the world," says Frank Dreeke, president and CEO.

Boasting extensive network capabilities for inbound vehicle technical inspection, conventional cargo, warehousing and distribution, BLG Logistics has handled a record number of 8 million cars, 5 per cent of which were shipped to China. The company's joint venture with German logistics leader Eurokai was lauded as the best container terminal in Europe by the Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards last year.

"With more than 1,300 train wagons, 500 trucks and barge services in the Rhine and Danube rivers, our intermodal transportation system offers the highest quality and cost benefits for our customers' supply chain management needs," Dreeke says. 

Its intermodal set-up linking rail, road and water transport has made BLG Logistics a preferred partner of the largest brands in the automotive, consumer goods and furniture industries. After closing a three-year agreement with Chinese carmaker Chery, the logistics specialist will be responsible for the vehicle company's sequencing, line feeding and yard management in Brazil. 

Specialising in vehicle, contracts and container logistics, BLG Logistics recognises that its strategic location, skilled workforce and superior technical services propelled it to become Europe's biggest port handling company. The company is committed to serve its international customers with its handling expertise and tailor-made information technology solutions.

"We have everything our clients need to get their products into the market," Dreeke says. "We are their gateway to the world."
