Solutions Beyond Logistics

Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (the DACH region) are strategic markets for heavy industry and project logistics. To be closer to customers and tap into new opportunities, Ahlers has established a new branch in Hamburg. We spoke with Julian Kurz, Business Development Manager Western Europe, about the market and Ahlers’ plans to strengthen partnerships across the region.

For over 25 years, our team in Ukraine has delivered high-quality solutions, combining local expertise with European standards. With specialists in Kharkiv, Odesa, Kremenchuk, and Kyiv, as well as our own office in Romania, we support our customers in navigating local challenges. Ahlers ensures seamless operations and business continuity amid an unpredictable landscape.

This case highlights a long-time journey to transport massive steel plant equipment from Gijón, Spain, to Dunkirk, France. With the actual planning starting in February 2023, the project took more than 1,5 years and faced complex challenges that required custom-engineered solutions, including transport frames and overcoming tide restrictions.

With the Middle Corridor's increasing significance in connecting Europe and Asia amidst disruptions to traditional routes, Ahlers Logistics is leveraging its deep expertise and strategic partnerships in Central Asia, Georgia, and Türkiye to optimize cargo movement and support customers.

On May 29, 2024, Ahlers Logistics celebrated the grand opening of their new office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, marking a formal milestone in their expansion efforts in Southeast Asia.

The global drive for decarbonization is transforming industries such as metallurgy and mining. In a recent discussion with Project Cargo Journal, we explored how freight forwarders are crucial in supporting this transition.

As part of their plant transformation project, Thyssenkrupp Steel contracted Danieli to develop and implement a digital system for slab storage and management in Germany. Ahlers Logistics was brought into the project to transport 8,000 freight tons of crane parts and accessories.
