Palletways unveils second German hub
The Palletways Group has expanded its services in Germany with a new regional and international hub to the south of the country.
The new facility in Neufahrn, near Munich, is Palletways’ second hub in Germany. The company already has a German hub in Hessian Knüllwald-Remsfeld, as well as a regional hub for the Rhine/Ruhr area in the Netherlands city of Nijmegen.
The new regional hub in Neufahrn will also handle international cargo and is expected to accelerate general cargo traffic to consignors in southern Germany and provide faster routing and better value to customers across southern Europe.
Palletways said that consignors in nearby Austria, Italy and Spain are set to benefit from a more direct connection, with transit time expected to be shortened by a day on average.
“A regional hub in the south-east offers many opportunities for Palletways Germany, with at least up to 20 network members already situated in the Bavarian region,” said Palletways. “Thanks to the new hub, members no longer need to travel to the central hub in Hessian Knüllwald-Remsfeld for collections and deliveries, driving significant reductions in cost and travel time. As of September 2017, seven network members are connected directly to Neufahrn, with more expected to follow soon.”
