Bertschi, De Rijke und Hoyer set up 4PL venture

4PL joint venture Log4Chem to generate transport volume of around EUR 200 million in the coming years
 
An independent fourth-party services provider (4PL) has been established in an international joint venture between the three bulk logistics specialists Bertschi, De Rijke Group and Hoyer. By pooling activities in chemicals-related logistics, transport volume of around EUR 200 million is expected to be generated in the coming years. The new company has a portfolio including all logistics services, such as coordination and execution of liquids and solids transports.
 
Log4Chem will function as a neutral facilitator between contractors and services providers, instead of having equipment of its own or other assets. Its role is to focus on gearing up the efficiency of the supply chain for example through trying to eliminate empty trips and to concentrate on the sustainable use of intermodal transports. The optimisation of logistics meets operational requirements.
 
The Log4Chem joint venture is designed to market, coordinate and optimise all new 4PL transport activities of the three shareholders. This particularly affects transports and logistics services for the chemicals industry in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Log4Chem aims to become market leader in this region. The shareholders Bertschi, De Rijke Group and Hoyer possess a network of 112 offices, 53.095 transport units and 8.955 employees worldwide.
