DB Schenker is investing about US$16.9 million to expand the logistics terminal in Vienna-Albern operated by Schenker and Co.
The site primarily serves as a hub for land transport, air, and ocean freight and is also a warehouse logistics location. The existing facility had reached its capacity limits.
¡°Vienna-Albern is a perfect location for our Eastern European routes and a hub for imports and exports between other parts of Europe and the world. These were the reasons to invest in the future and expand this terminal,¡± said Karl Nutzinger, member of the board of management of Schenker, responsible for the European land transport business unit in Europe.
After the expansion has been completed the site will offer customers a 16,400 square meter logistics warehouse as well as an 8,400 square meter freight handling hall, located on a site with about 82,300 square meters in total space.
The freight handling hall is equipped with an under floor chain conveyor system that has a capacity of approximately 590 palettes per hour. The new facility will also have the latest equipment to put together and deconsolidate airfreight palettes. |
