LOGISTICS CENTRE WITH PERSPECTIVE

SAXONY-ANHALT – GOODS DISTRIBUTION CENTRE IN THE HEART OF GERMANY AND EUROPE

Central Germany, a hub of major Euro- pean trade routes for centuries, has – since EU enlargement to the east – assumed a key position in the flow of trade in the European economic area. More and more overseas companies are coming to appreciate Saxony-Anhalt as a gate- way into the European market. Both the unique favourable geographic position of this state in the heart of Europe and the state-of-the art infrastructure ensure fast logistics. Producers and forwarders benefit from short routes to procurement and sales markets. The four motorways, a dense rail network, the Leipzig/Halle airport, the river Elbe and the Mittelland Canal provide adequate transport options und efficient logistics solutions in all directions of the compass.
