Bundling pharma logistics in Bavaria
Trans-o-flex recently celebrated its topping-out ceremony at its new hub in Steinach, Bavaria. The transhipment site has been designed to integrate the company’s two networks.
Trans-o-flex specialises in the transport of pharmaceuticals and sensitive goods and will make use of the hub’s temperature-controlled hall, which will enable it to run its express and thermo-med businesses under one roof. There will be a large space for the ambient handling of goods (15°-25°C) and a smaller refrigerated area (2°-8°C).
Located at the A3 motorway, the facility will offer quick access to Regensburg, Passau, and the Austrian and Czech borders. It will have a sorting capacity of 4,200 parcels per hour and focus on sustainability, with the installation of solar panels and heat pumps to minimise fossil fuel dependency. Opening is set for May 2025. (mk)
