Rhenus opens logistics facility in Voronezh, Russia
The Rhenus Group opened a new logistics facility in Voronezh with numerous guests from the worlds of politics and business on May 22. The facility in the south of central Russia is part of the "Rhenus Silk Way" project. Specialized transport and logistics solutions for customers from the agricultural sector are to be developed at the site.
The logistics facility comprises 20,000 square meters of warehouse space and 2,500 square meters of office space. The warehouse also includes a refrigerated section for the storage of perishable goods. "We see great potential in Voronezh Oblast to establish ourselves as a logistics partner for industry and trade. In particular, we would like to support our customers' developments in the agricultural sector here in the future. Voronezh is ideally located on the New Silk Road corridor between Europe and Asia," reports Olaf Metzger, Managing Director of OOO Rhenus Freight Logistics. A special economic zone is also currently being established in Voronezh to attract the metal processing industry.
Rhenus also welcomed Dr. Hinrich Snell, Head of the Department for Food and Agriculture at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Moscow, the First Deputy Governor of the Voronezh region, Vitaly Alekseevich Shabalatov, and Matthias Schepp, Chairman of the Board of the German-Russian Chamber of Commerce Abroad and Delegate of German Business in the Russian Federation, to the celebrations.
"Investments in the Voronezh Oblast are the basis for economic growth, new jobs and an increase in income. We therefore support the implementation of major projects and new settlements such as that of the Rhenus Group," says Vitaly Alekseevich Shabalatov.
