New stuff in SCHENKER d.o.o.

Schenker has been chosen as the key provider of transport and logistics services on the project of construction of gas production plant near Smederevo, for the world energy giant - Messer, Germany.  

Successful implementation of all transport and logistic services needed for this project, requires expertise not only in our local office in Belgrade, but also cooperation amongst several Schenker branch offices throughout Europe and Asia.

A unique combination of transit hub and logistics warehouse is now accelerating Schenker's European services. Goods received late in the evening reach any destination in Germany - and many of Europe's industrial areas - in the early hours of the following morning. This has been made possible by the new Schenker European Logistics Center (SELC) in Friedewald, North Hesse in Germany.

The new SELC provides storage space for more than 11,000 euro pallets in high-bay storage racks covering an area of approximately 12,000 square meters. Other goods are stored in the 4,500 sqm block storage area. Schenker has another 8,000 pallet spaces here. The 900 sqm safety zone for highly sensitive goods is equipped with video surveillance, alarm and sprinkler systems.

For weeks now, Schenker's sports logistics specialists have been working at high speed for the FIFA Confederations Cup Germany 2005. In the FIFA World Cup stadiums in Cologne, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Leipzig and Hanover, for example, dedicated Schenker staff are ensuring that the venues get the equipment and facilities they require for both the FIFA and the media.

As a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG, one of the National Sponsors of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™, Schenker is permitted to use the title "Official mobility and logistics services provider to the 2006 FIFA World CupTM“.
