Lehnkering and ADR Logistics form alliance in Hungary

Lehnkering group has now access to certified warehouse space for hazardous goods in Hungary as a result of a cooperation arrangement signed with ADR-Logistics K.f.t.

Having reached an agreement on strategic cooperation with the private enterprise ADR-Logistics K.f.t. (Budapest), the Lehnkering group can now provide certified warehouse space for hazardous goods in Hungary. The Lehnkering Distribution Logistics & Services division now has the exclusive marketing rights for the arrangement alongside ADR-Logistics. ADR-Logistics K.f.t. operates a hazardous goods warehouse in Budapest, located near the airport, for packaged items produced by the chemicals industry; the facility has the capacity to store 15,000 pallets.

The centre, which can be expanded to accommodate an additional 10,000 pallets, offers in addition to warehouse logistics services also all the standard value added services like labelling packaged goods. With the exception of explosive, radioactive or infectious substances, the facility can handle all the VCI or ADR warehouse classes of goods. ADR also provides distribution services within Hungary and to Romania, Slovakia and other neighbouring countries. "Hungary is becoming increasingly important for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. It is not only a growing market itself, but is also a distribution centre for Central and Eastern Europe. Being a 3PL services provider Lehnkering would like to accompany its customers there", says Uwe Willhaus, COO of the Lehnkering Distribution Logistics & Services division. "We have found a competent partner in ADR Logistics, who meets our high standards of quality and safety. And as a result of its expertise and the warehouse space that can be used by both parties, Lehnkering gains immediate access to the market in Hungary and neighbouring countries." With this cooperation arrangement Lehnkering underlines its strategy of growth and drives its consequent internationalization course.

Peter Kretschmayer, CEO of ADR Logistics K.f.t., founded in the year 2000, says "In line with this cooperation Lehnkering stocks up our Hazardous goods warehouse, while we also benefit from the long-time experiences as well as the network of warehouse locations and distribution possibilities of Lehnkering in Western Europe. The cooperation makes a whole new client market accessible for us".
