Our services for you

Timber ports and railports

We use our timber port and railport facilities to provide the timber industry with transhipment and interim storage service fit for products, thereby enabling companies to call up supplies as required.

Special equipment

If a specific project calls for it, we augment our array of special equipment for raw and sawn timber with special contains for bulk material. We also deploy sliding-wall wagons for transporting chipboard products, pellets and wooden construction components.

Multimodal and conventional

We combine single wagonload and block train services within Germany and beyond with road-based first-and-last-mile links as well as with shipping routes. Warehousing is also available when required. This way, we make sure that timber products can be transported across Europe.
