Gebrüder Weiss is establishing a central cargo handling warehouse in Hungary for the Danish pump manufacturer Grundfos, from which it will supply 16 countries. Budapest/Lauterach, 28 July 2015. The international transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss has successfully restructured goods purchasing and distribution in Eastern Europe for its customer, Grundfos. The central hub for this is a new cargo handling warehouse in Biatorbágy, Hungary, from which Gebrüder Weiss will export all of the products offered by the Danish pump manufacturer to a total of 16 countries. By outsourcing, Grundfos will save 10 per cent on its original delivery costs. Well-practised transport routes and 90 dedicated sites operated by Gebrüder Weiss in Eastern Europe form the basis for efficient delivery. Central cross-dock in Hungary Grundfos has expanded significantly in Eastern Europe in recent years and today produces high-quality pumps and motors at four sites in Hungary. In order to combine the individual factory deliveries, Gebrüder Weiss has set up a central cross-docking warehouse and logistics terminal for all Grundfos shipments. The buildings are customised to meet the needs of the pump manufacturer and include an area of 16,000 square metres. The logistics experts also optimised delivery of the raw materials to the manufacturers and distribution of the end products. "We benefit from the standardised processes which Gebrüder Weiss is able to offer us," says Lajos Major, Project Manager for Logistics at Grundfos.  Hub for Eastern Europe Due to its central location, Hungary is an ideal hub for shipments in Eastern Europe. The presence of Gebrüder Weiss in Hungary encompasses four dedicated sites, 246 employees, and many years of transport experience. Hungary was the first site founded by the company after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Today, 25 years later, the eastern network of Gebrüder Weiss includes 90 sites in 19 countries, connected by around 180 routes. On average, Gebrüder Weiss transports around 10 million consignments by land per year – from Vienna to Sofia, from Prague to Bratislava, and from Budapest to Zagreb.
