Last year, one of our valued clients in the chemical industry faced potential production cutbacks due to critical space shortages and high tariffs imposed by carriers. This situation threatened not only their business continuity but also the opportunity for growth in a competitive market.
Global inks manufacturer Sun Chemical and logistics service provider Den Hartogh Logistics have collaborated to design customised tanks to transport Sun Chemical's flush product for the publications industry.
Den Hartogh is always looking for new opportunities to increase payload and reduce freight cost. The company has introduced in its fleet operations a new type of composite tank containers, that allows reducing freight cost per trip by 5 to 10 %. These composite containers have been developed with Tankwell (Netherlands), using Atlac® 5200 FC resin from Aliancys.
Den Hartogh Gas Logistics manages the inbound logistics of raw materials of one of the largest cosmetic producers in the world, Beiersdorf. Via telematics we manage the level of stock in the storage tanks at distance.
Recently Den Hartogh has set up a supply chain for their customer in South America. They import specialty cryogenic gases like high purity oxygen and Argon. Quality and availability of the product are key for the customer
Den Hartogh’s customer, sweet peper grower Bart van der Valk: “Each year in November, we plant baby seedlings in a sterile greenhouse. It takes about 8 or 9 weeks for the plants to grow the sweet peppers and for them to develop, to colour orange and to ripen."
Sustainability is a foundational element and core SABIC value. Our ambition is to be the chemical industry’s recognised leader in supply chain sustainability. Improving our transportation carbon footprint is an important part of this ambition.
