Logistics partnership with further prospects of success

With signing the contract in December 2018, CMC starts its cooperation with the logistics service provider Hamacher Transporte, based in the Rurbenden industrial park.

CMC and Hamacher are looking back on a successful construction phase from groundbreaking in February to completion in December 2019. Approximately one year after the start of construction, the project was thus jointly finalized at the start of the contract on January 1, 2020.

The distribution center was built with a 22,000 sq. ft. footprint, giving CMC the capacity and flexibility needed in its fast-moving, high-volume product business. A whole 23,000 pallets now find their place in the new warehouse.

At the start of the contract, CMC’s entire goods traffic was switched to the new distribution center. In particular, products from the nearby CMC plant in Birkesdorf near Düren are temporarily stored there and assembled for delivery to the customer.

Martin Kasnitz, Director Supply Chain (Planning, Purchasing, Logistics, Customs) at CMC is extremely satisfied:

“We look forward to continuing to work together to increase efficiency and are proud to be able to provide the best possible logistics service to our customers as a result.”
