Dangerous goods competence for the Romanian market

Dachser strengthens its European network with one of the most modern dangerous goods warehouses in the region.

Dachser has opened a dangerous goods warehouse near Bucharest with an area of approximately 6,500 square metres and 11,500 pallet spaces. As currently the only warehouse in Romania, the facility, with an investment volume in excess of ten million euros, complies with the Seveso II Directive (96/82/EC).

“The facility in Ploiesti is a flagship project in the expansion of our European logistics network,” comments Michael Schilling, managing director European Network Management & Logistics Systems at Dachser. “With this commitment, Dachser is setting standards for the entire growth region.”

Dachser Romania has constructed the warehouse with the support of Liegl & Dachser. The Hungarian joint venture has operated a dangerous goods warehouse in compliance with the strict Seveso II Directive in Pilisvörösvár near Budapest since 2006.

Engelbert Liegl, managing director of Liegl & Dachser Hungary, explains: “In combination with the excellent connection to the Dachser Eurohub in Bratislava, we are able to offer international customers from the chemical industry efficient and safe contract logistics for the entire region”.
