VTG AG boosts business solutions in the rail logistics division

Rail logistics division of VTG AG puts focus on liquid, agricultural and industrial goods:

Restructuring its activities and focussing on profitable product segments VTG Aktiengesellschaft adjusts its commitment in the rail logistics division to the current market situation. The enterprise based in Hamburg wants to exploit the full potential of the structurally growing rail freight transport. Thus the target strategy is to bring liquid, agricultural and industrial goods onto the railway, as the management announces in a press release.

VTG’s Rail Logistics Division has lately registered above-average growth rates. Broadening the scope of products in this division the company wants to profit from the positive market development. In the future, VTG is to focus on three highly profitable groups of products, each having a great market potential: liquids (e.g. mineral oil, chemicals), agricultural products (including former TMF-activities) and industrial goods (e.g. steel products). “With this broadened scope of the division, we will access new customer groups and regions and take even more traffic from the road onto the railway”, says Gert Sieksmeyer, head of VTG Rail Logistics Europe.

The operational activities reflect also the restructuring with the VTG subsidiary Transpetrol being in charge of the transport of liquids in central and eastern Europe and VTG’s Rail Logistics division assuming responsibility for liquid goods in western and southern Europe. VTG Rail Logistics will be responsible for agricultural and industrial goods throughout Europe, benefiting thereby yet from Transpetrol’s existing network and expertise.

VTG Rail Logistics Division’s network of branches is also subject to expansion, e.g. with a new sales office in the Frankfurt area since January 1, 2012 and further plans to open additional branches in countries other than Germany.
