Aug 28, 2020 at 7:29 AMThe Jentsch Logistik GmbH, Cologne, which is already part of the Gras Group, will be renamed Gras Logistik GmbH on September 1st. At the same time, the hall space will be expanded to 10,000 m2. This will enhance Gras’s capabilities in Cologne and allow it to offer an improved service to its customers.
(Neuwied) On September 1, 2020, the Jentsch Logistik GmbH (Cologne), which has been part of the Gras Group (Neuwied) since 2007, will be renamed Gras Logistik GmbH. This change is part of the expansion of the hall space to 10,000 sqm following the contractual departure of the previous subtenant. This gives the IDS partner Gras and regional freight forwarder for Cologne and the surrounding area sufficient capacity – both for the increased shipment volume and for further growth.
“With the expansion of our logistics facility in Cologne, we significantly improve our performance and can offer our customers in the greater Cologne area an optimal service package and comprehensive service,” says Madeleine Boos, Managing Director of the Gras Group. The service package of the Gras Group at its five logistics locations in Neuwied, Ötzingen (Westerwald), Cologne, Mannheim, and Ötigheim ranges from general cargo to partial and full loads as well as sea and air freight to contract logistics.
Response to Growth and Customer Needs
“With a total of 42,800 sqm of land, 10,000 sqm of covered transshipment area, and 120 gates, we can respond even better and more flexibly to the increasing customer needs and growth,” says Andreas Teichhof, Managing Director of Jentsch Logistik GmbH since April 2020 and soon of Gras Logistik GmbH. Up to 3,000 shipments are transshipped here daily.
Conveniently located directly on the A4 motorway, Gras Logistik and the “regional IDS leader” at the Cologne Eifeltor have been serving an area from Bedburg to Dahlem and from Aachen to Lohmar for over 13 years. The customers mainly include companies from the paper industry, the DIY and home improvement sector, the consumer goods industry, and hygiene product manufacturers.
Gras Group
The Gras Group includes the freight forwarders Gras Spedition GmbH & Co. KG in Neuwied and Ötzingen (Westerwald), Gras Logistik GmbH in Cologne, and Network Logistics GmbH with locations in Mannheim and Ötigheim. All are partners of the IDS general cargo cooperation. The Gras Group’s offerings include transport concepts for procurement and distribution, B2B or private customer deliveries, contract and warehouse logistics, as well as sea and air freight. Other subsidiaries include Informatik Team GmbH (Neuwied) and the logistics service provider Gras Transpack GmbH (Polch). The Gras Group employs over 600 staff, transports around 8,000 shipments per day, and generates revenue of over 120 million euros (2019).
