The generic term „HUB” is used to describe a central logistics point where the flow of goods is consolidated in order to optimise the dispatch of load carriers. They are a key area of the overall supply chain strategy and used to optimize the transportation costs. However, a logistics HUB can do much more. In this blog article, we will show you how you can benefit comprehensively from our various HUB locations.
Equipped for every need with three different HUB solutions at once
As globalization increases, new requirements and more complicated logistics management processes are emerging. An inefficient infrastructure due to a multitude of individual parts and supplier companies, time and labor costs due to several handling operations and more frequent loading and unloading of containers are just some of the consequences that can arise. By using an appropriate HUB, these challenges can be easily overcome.
As an example: Within a DEUFOL HUB individually tailored to your needs, your supply chain is analyzed, consolidated, optimized and digitalized. Here, you benefit from holistic, professional packaging, transport and logistics services tailored to your needs, providing you with a digital overview of the location, status and deadlines of your goods and thus an optimized sustainable flow of products in your supply chain. Our various HUBs are always connected to elementary logistics routes such as sea and river routes via ports or airspace via an airport. How exactly our HUBs differ from each other and which advantages the different location types bring with them, is shown in the following.
The DEUFOL Seaport HUBs near the ocean ports
With our three different DEUFOL seaport HUBs in Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Antwerp, Belgium, we offer you as a customer a direct connection to the coastal waters. Thus, these HUBs are particularly suitable for shipments which either have to be transported to long-distance international destinations or for goods which are on their way inland. With our HUB directly at the Wallmann Terminal in Hamburg, for example, we ensure that your goods are handled safely and without additional transports in the port at your own terminal. In this way, you eliminate redundant logistics processes, simplify them and can save costs as well as valuable project time!
Our inland hubs at strategically important interfaces
Our DEUFOL inland hubs are our most broadly positioned location portfolio. Here you will find no less than three HUBs in Germany (Dortmund, Nuremberg and Mülheim), two in Austria (Graz and St. Pölten) and one location in Belgium (Lier). In particular, the possibility of efficiently handling goods inland for onward transport by rail or road and transporting them safely from there to the respective destination is frequently taken advantage of. As a result, clients save time and can benefit from a wide range of synergy effects.
Reach your destination quickly with our DEUFOL airport hubs
DEUFOL also has three HUB locations for transport by air/plane, located in Paris, Brussels and Frankfurt. Our new DEUFOL Airport HUB in the immediate vicinity of Frankfurt Airport, for example, offers our customers a holistic solution for their logistics projects. Regardless of whether you are looking for custom-fit airfreight packaging, support in organizing transport or the use of our dangerous goods service, you are sure to find what you are looking for here. Also interesting: Due to the approval of the German Federal Aviation Authority as a regulated agent, DEUFOL is able to carry out air cargo security checks at this location to avoid a potential dark alarm.
