Hellmann Worldwide Logistics opens new warehouse in Turkey
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics expands its warehouse capacity in Beylikdüzü, Istanbul from 3,000 sqm to a total of 10,000 sqm.
Since 1999, Hellmann has successfully strengthened its market share in Turkey and now sits amongst the country’s leading logistics companies; the new warehouse is a milestone which confirms this trend.
A rack system for 9,500 europallets is provided at the 7,000 sqm space. 2,600 sqm and block storages with a capacity for 4,000 europallets are also available. Currently, the hanging cloths system comprises 50,000 pieces and with the new building’s height of 12.8m it can easily be expanded to 100,000 pieces. A loading platform and six electronically height adjustable platforms load and unload up to four trucks at the same time. “With the new warehouse we have established enough capacity to further push the successful expansion in Turkey“, says Cem Akgül, Managing Director Hellmann Worldwide Logistics Turkey.
Hellmann built the new real estate right next to the old warehouse. The location is strategically highly beneficial as the distance to the biggest Turkish harbour is only two km, only 13 km to the airport, and about one km to the interchange E5/E6.
Due to a WMS Plantumwebs, which has a broad interface towards other systems, processes are organized faster, are more effective and are also more efficient in regards to economical aspects.
In addition to the new warehouse, Hellmann has established an in-house customs department as a further module of the business in Turkey. The Turkish customs agents take care of a quick handling of all required formalities for the import and export. Next to customs clearance, the complete service range of custom warehousing is offered.
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics Turkey handles inner-Turkish and European Road Freight, less-than-container-load and full-container-load, as well as transportations to the Middle East and countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The portfolio is completed by an IATA Air Freight Agency, Sea Freight and project logistics.
