Suzuki new cars for Austria now via Bremerhaven
Suzuki Motor Corporation counts on know how of BLG Logistics and Lagermax for deliveries to Austria
The end of November saw “Pacific Highway” transport the first Suzuki vehicles for the Austrian market to Bremerhaven. The exclusive automobile logistician for the German-based subsidiary of the Japanese Suzuki Motor Corporation, BLG Logistics, was recently awarded the contract to handle and perform initial technical processing of the vehicles made in Asia and intended for Austria. The annual handling volume of vehicles treated with body cavity protection and underbody protection in Bremerhaven is expected to be around 4,000. The cars are then transported from Bremerhaven to the Austrian town of Straßwalchen by Lagermax and BLG Logistics in roughly the same volumes. Further technical processing continues to be performed at the terminal of the Austrian partner, Lagermax. Suzuki has been importing models made in Japan and India through Bremerhaven since 1980. Since then BLG Logistics has been responsible for the technical processing and transportation to the German dealers. “This new deal ensures that the Austrian market is also provided with the German quality standard when it comes to underbody protection”, explains Thomas Leiber, Key Account Manager of BLG’s Automobile unit.
