Private sidings: Many advantages and grants

Connecting your company directly to the rail network can be worthwhile: lower costs, extended loading and unloading windows, better planning. In addition, there is an up to 50% subsidy for investments in new construction, expansion or reactivation. The experts from our regional sales department will assist you in applying for the subsidy and during all phases of the project.
