Talke acquires majority stake in former Kruse Logistics

Chempark-sites in Leverkusen and Dormagen of Kruse Logistics strengthen Talke’s position as on-site-logistician for the chemicals industry

With immediate effect, the Talke group also has operations at the Chempark sites in Leverkusen and Dormagen. At the start of this month, the chemicals logistics expert acquired a majority stake in Friedrich A. Kruse jun. Logistics Services, which ran the facilities at both sites up to now. Dirk Emmerich holds the minority share, and will stay on board as managing director of the new Talke-Emmerich GmbH & Co. KG.

By extending its reach into two of Germany’s most significant chemical industry sites, the Talke group has come even closer to its partners in the chemical sector. “The expansion means that we can provide our customers at the Chemparks sites and their business partners in the whole world with an even broader range of top-class chemicals logistics services,” stresses Alfred Talke, group managing director. “The experienced teams in Leverkusen and Dormagen are an ideal addition to our own team and skill set. Once again, Talke has reinforced its position as a European leader in chemicals logistics.”

Apart from the storage and shipment of dangerous and non-hazardous chemicals, the company offers services such as blending, grinding and sifting, packing, filling and refilling of solids and liquids at the Leverkusen and Dormagen Chempark sites. Hot melts and powders with a minimum ignition energy below 3mJ can also be filled or refilled. Packaging unit sizes range from test or sales samples to cartons, bags or drums and up to big bags, tank containers, full truck loads or rail wagons.

Moreover, as part of its highly specialised on-site services, Talke also offers operation of its customers’ filling and logistics plants. The logistics expert ensures the supply of source materials just in time for their feed into production. Finished products are filled into the required packing unit and prepared for shipment or bulk shipment.

Storage capacity in Dormagen and Leverkusen adds up to about 50,000 pallet spaces in block and high-rise rack storage areas. In addition, there are special warehouse facilities for technical gases, samples, small packs and cold storage areas for products that require temperature control.
