8. May 2022Sievert Logistics SE is restructuring its business areas. With the goal of increasing annual revenue in the warehouse logistics sector to 25 million euros by 2025, the logistics service provider is now increasingly focusing on its portfolio of value-added services. This move responds to the growing demand for petrochemicals, industrial minerals, as well as animal feed and additives.
(Lengerich, D / Hardenberg, NL) As part of the refocusing, the expansion of the location in Hardenberg, Netherlands, was successfully completed at the beginning of the year. A new warehouse covering 7,000 square meters has been established there, with an additional storage area of 5,000 square meters. A new silage machine with a throughput of 25 tons per hour is now also available to customers. Meanwhile, the transport sector of Sievert Logistics remains unaffected by the realignment. “In light of the steadily growing demand for warehouse logistics services, we will further expand this business area in the coming years, thereby creating significant added value for our customers,” says Rui Macedo, Managing Director of Sievert Logistics SE. The aim is to provide customers with a closed logistics chain that extends from the manufacturer of the base product to the processing operation and includes pre- or post-production tasks. By 2025, the logistics service provider from Lengerich aims to generate an annual revenue of 25 million euros in the warehouse logistics sector. The transport business, with approximately 600 pulling units from its own fleet and fixed subcontractors, will be maintained. Macedo: “In transporting goods, we will continue to work with our existing customer and product portfolio and maintain our high quality by advancing digitalization and training new drivers.” In the future, procurement, distribution, and sales logistics, as well as transport for customers, will increasingly come from a single source.
New Storage Areas with Value-Added Services
The first measure of the realignment is the expansion of covered storage capacities at the Hardenberg location in the Netherlands, where the subsidiary Nederlandse Transport Maatschappij B.V. (N.T.M.) is based. In addition to the new warehouse with a storage area of 5,000 square meters, a fully automatic debagging machine has been put into operation there. With this new acquisition, powders or granules can be transferred from bags, big bags, and octabins to silo trailers as bulk goods in no time, or conversely, bulk goods can be filled into one of the mentioned containers. Henk Batterink, Managing Director of N.T.M., sees a clear advantage in this: “Thanks to the new silage machine, we can transfer 1,000 25-kilo bags into a silo trailer in just one and a half hours. With this automation, we clearly differentiate ourselves from competitors.”
