Liquid CONcept has added another 120 ultra-modern units to its intermediate bulk container (IBC) fleet. The Hamburg-based logistics firm thus continues to build up its small container business. Designed to serve the US market, this new type of container can be used to carry high quality coatings. The new high-tech containers are rectangular in shape and have a capacity of around 1300 liters. They can be used both to transport and store smaller quantities of product.
“In providing our customers with this type of IBC, specifically designed for the American market, we are offering the most modern, individual solutions in the small container segment,” said Eycke-Christian Dörre, business director at Liquid CONcept.
Enlargement of the fleet through the new IBCs is Liquid CONcept’s response to the demands of the global market for transportation of liquids. The new transport containers are fitted with US-standard couplings and connectors to spearhead the development of Liquid CONcept’s presence in Stateside markets.
As a service-driven logistics provider, Liquid CONcept takes charge of fleet management, as well as silicone-free cleaning, preparation and retrieval of IBCs. Their compatible couplings and connectors mean it is straightforward for consignees overseas to integrate them into their production processes.
Liquid CONcept is setting standards as a provider of special transport solutions in international transport through its new offering, presenting itself as a strong logistics partner for industry.
