Contargo wins major order from Daimler
Contargo Wörth-Karlsruhe GmbH will operate the container yard at Daimler’s new consolidation centre in Speyer from 1 April 2015
Daimler AG has set up a new logistics centre in the south of Speyer. This is where production material from suppliers will be consolidated and forwarded to the major Mercedes-Benz car works abroad in China, South Africa and the U.S. Operation will be launched gradually from spring 2015. From 2016 full operation shall start with several hundred maritime containers per week being carried by barge or on the railway to the seaports of Antwerp and Bremerhaven.
