DB Schenker Romtrans has set up an LTL network in Romania with shipments being handled through the newly established central hub in Brasov. Initial volumes have been helped by an agreement with the bauMax Group, an Austrian chain of DIY stores. The company signed a multi-annual contract with DB Schenker Romtrans for the distribution of products from Romanian suppliers to the local bauMax outlets. bauMax currently operates seven DIY centers in Romania, and has plans to raise that figure to nine, as a next step.”Since the takeover of Romtrans, we have led the Romanian market in both the LTL and FTL segments. Our newly launched LTL service has substantially improved our land transport product range and rounds off the portfolio ideally,” said Elmar Wieland, Chairman of the Management Board of Schenker & Co AG, Vienna and responsible for South-Eastern Europe.
Of the ten branch offices and approximately 70 depots of DB Schenker Romtrans, the locations in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Arad and Iasi are linked up to the LTL system, working in cooperation with the hub in Brasov.
