Bolzoni opens portal for rental and used attachments

Posted on by David Priestman

As an alternative to the purchase of a new attachment, the Bolzoni rental and remanufactured product range is now available on a new European web portal.

Especially in times of shortages in logistics chains and extended lead times when investing into new equipment, alternative options, such as rental and used products, become more important than ever.

In the case of seasonal peaks, an unexpected breakdown or, simply to cover an additional fleet requirement, to rent an attachment or to buy a reconditioned unit can be a good alternative rather than purchasing a new one, in particular because of its prompt availability.

The Bolzoni Group supports customers with solutions to save money on investments without renouncing Bolzoni’s equipment efficiency and quality. The new portal offers a wide range of Bolzoni Auromo and Meyer original equipment.

Each attachment is carefully checked and refurbished after every hire. Each used or rental product is inspected, reconditioned and tested according to the highest quality standards, becoming a convenient alternative to purchasing a new product.

After the reconditioning process, the attachment will have the appearance and quality as expected from an OEM with a guarantee of a 12-month warranty.

Whether the need is to purchase a reconditioned attachment or, to face a short- or medium-term rental, Bolzoni says it provides the best solution to meet all industries special requirements.

Through the European-wide network of workshops with support and aftersales service, Bolzoni is able to offer a localised 360° support, from commercial consultancy to preventative maintenance, throughout the period of use. Bolzoni is the qualified partner not only to purchase or to rent used and brand-new products, but also to sell and to trade-in no longer used attachments. Instead of being wasted, the used ones will be reconditioned to replenish the Bolzoni Rental & Used fleet.

Choosing the Bolzoni’s Rental & Used service means a fast and efficient way of solving downtime or bridging peak demands within production facilities and logistic chains. A wide range of attachment on stock is available for shipping either the same day or within 24 hours.

The reconditioned attachments follow a strict multiphase process to fit in the quality standards that characterise Bolzoni’s products. Upon return, every used unit undergoes a reconditioning process, which includes cleaning and preliminary inspections. Once the equipment overall conditions are taken into consideration, the appropriate level of maintenance to refurbish and replace all wear parts is defined. Finally, in the painting and assembly phase, each product receives its final touch that makes it almost impossible to be distinguished from a new one.

And only after having successfully passed the stringent tests of the Bolzoni quality process, the attachment is placed back into stock ready for its next assignment.

Patrizia invests €230m in largest Dutch DC

Posted on by David Priestman

Patrizia AG, a leading partner for global real assets, has on behalf of its institutional clients invested in the €230m turnkey acquisition of a 233,000 sq m distribution centre in the container hub of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port, from Dutch logistics developer DHG. The acquisition, which represents the largest logistics investment on record in the Netherlands in terms of square metres, was made on behalf of Patrizia’s Logistik-Invest Europa III Fund and Patrizia PanEuropean.

The Smartlog Maasvlakte distribution centre is a mammoth logistics complex under construction on a 30ha site at Distripark Maasvlakte West on Rotterdam’s most recent land reclamation area and the biggest ever to be developed in the Dutch market.

One of the key features of the property is its extensive solar panel roof which includes 46,000 solar panels spanning 210,000 sq m across 10 buildings, generating sufficient energy to power almost 7,000 homes. The asset also contains the best-in-class technical installations and is fully reliant on alternative energy sources to gas.

Alexander van Gastel, Patrizia’s Director for Transactions Netherlands, said: “The Netherlands is one of the most attractive logistics real estate investment markets in Europe and this acquisition consolidates our presence in Rotterdam, one of the ‘Top 10’ largest container seaports in the world. The deal follows on from our first transaction with DHG in 2019 when we acquired a portfolio of distribution centres in three locations in and around Rotterdam. The city’s port area is a leading European logistics hotspot and competition among occupiers for warehouse space in prime locations such as the Maasvlakte is intense, with little high-quality product available due to the rapid take-up of space by domestic and international occupiers.”

The state-of-the-art logistics hub at the western tip of Rotterdam port is 80% pre-let and will comprise 10 warehouse units ranging in size from ca.17,800 to 22,000 sq m plus mezzanine space (ca.1,500 to 2,000 sq m), outside storing terrain and ancillary offices. Tenants include well-known names in the Dutch market including Odin and Zwaluw Logistics. Each unit will be finished to a high specification offering exceptionally smooth concrete floors with a floor load of 6,000 kg/sq m, electrically operated overhead doors on each dock, battery-charging points, LED lighting and floor heating generated by a climate control heat pump. The development is due to be completed in June 2022.

The addition of Smartlog Maasvlakte to the Patrizia portfolio lifts the company’s logistics assets under management in the Netherlands to over €800m, equivalent to roughly 770,000 sq m spread over eight locations across the country. Patrizia’s European logistics portfolio now totals over €6bn in AUM.

Patrizia and developer DHG have entered into a partnership with Dutch solar energy company Sunrock, part of COFRA Holdings, which will own and operate the solar panel installations at Smartlog Maasvlakte. Altogether the ‘sunroof’ can generate 2.5MW of power which will be fed back to the local grid. Including this asset, Patrizia’s Dutch logistics portfolio now comprises almost 400,000 sq m of solar panels, generating sufficient energy for nearly 12,000 households.

Emile Poort, Patrizia’s Country Manager for the Netherlands and Head of Transactions Benelux, said: “The logistics sector has proven to be a safe haven during the Covid-19 pandemic and as economic recovery continues, we are seeing further growth in e-commerce and increasing demand from logistics occupiers, especially for assets that have strong sustainability credentials.”

Smartlog Maasvlakte is ideally located in Europe’s largest container hub served by state-of-the-art deep-sea, inland waterway barge and rail terminals. Distripark Maasvlakte West has excellent connections to the European hinterland via high-frequency multimodal connections. The proximity of Rotterdam city means employers can also tap into a pool of skilled logistics workers.

Rotterdam is the Netherland’s second largest city with a population of over 650,000 inhabitants representing more than 180 different nationalities and a port covering a surface area of 12,600ha. The Maasvlakte was created in the 1960s by reclaiming land from the North Sea, and Distripark Maasvlakte West, the only ‘greenfield’ site available for distribution in the area, is located on the most recently reclaimed land which extended the port area by 2,000ha upon completion in 2013. Rotterdam port accommodates the arrival of more than 30,000 maritime ships and over 105,000 inland waterway vessels annually, with its intermodal transport connections spanning highways, 400 international rail connections and pipelines. The volume of goods throughput in Rotterdam in 2020 totalled 436.8m tonnes, double the figure for Antwerp port and triple that of Hamburg.

Logistics real estate investment volumes in the Netherlands have surged in 2021 and are set to eclipse last year’s record of €3.4bn. The strength of the market is underpinned by occupier take-up, which was already higher in the first nine months of 2021 than the total achieved in full-year 2020.

Inchcape partners with Horizon in the Americas

Posted on by David Priestman

Inchcape Shipping Services and Horizon Air Freight have formed a new partnership they say will streamline Inchcape’s last-mile spares logistics and door-to-deck delivery throughout the Americas.

The alliance is set to strengthen Inchcape’s new Marine Supply Chain Solutions (MSCS) service line that manages integrated marine services for shipping companies across all ports, for enhanced customer efficiency, simplicity and value.

Inchcape customers can now use the Horizon WorldTrack portal, which gives them real-time, consolidated updates on all their purchase orders.

“Prior to partnering with Horizon, management of this service was a detail-intensive process internally. Horizon has really streamlined that process, allowing our customers to log in and extract any documents or data they require,” said Crystal Waldroup, senior manager of MSCS – Americas.

Inchcape, as one of the world’s oldest and largest port agency and marine services providers, has created MSCS as part of its vision for a “smoother, smarter ocean”.

In this connection, the company needed a logistics partner with excellent internal processes, timely communications, resourceful solutions and technical sophistication – and Horizon fit the bill.

“I was in search of a marine logistics company which would partner closely with us as we built this service line together,” Waldroup explained. “I wanted a partner which had a global network of transportation companies already in place, and could handle both last-mile and door-to-deck deliveries anywhere in the world.”

She added: “Horizon was the obvious choice. We had worked informally with Horizon before and knew their reputation as the logistics company that could solve the most complicated shipping challenges. The time was right to formalise a true partnership.”

Horizon CEO Steve Leondis said: “I couldn’t be happier with this new partnership. Inchcape shares our commitment to do whatever it takes to keep ships sailing safely and on schedule. We look forward to serving their customers throughout the Americas.”

Whittan celebrates 70 years

Posted on by David Priestman

Whittan is celebrating its 70th anniversary as a trusted supplier of storage products and solutions.

Whittan’s story – capturing 70 years of British design, manufacture and installation of pallet racking, shelving and lockers by one company – remains unique today. It was in 1951 that father and son James and Peter Kinnear established The Handy Angle Company at Brierley Hill in the heart of England’s industrial ‘Black Country’. They set up a small workshop with an original staff of six. From there, they started manufacturing a range of practical slotted steel angles.

The region was already considered influential in shaping trends and consumer tastes, and the company was well placed to tap into that growth. They developed a tensioning plate design which provided a stable and highly configurable storage system. Building on this innovation, the business grew to meet the increasing demand for improved, purpose-built storage equipment. In 1966, it changed its name to Link51, combining the year of incorporation and the word Link which described the various types of storage equipment and techniques grouped within one company. It has never looked back.

Throughout the seven decades, Whittan tracked the changing needs for storage while innovating and setting trends. Today it is the UK’s largest manufacturer and supplier of steel storage systems, recognised for their extensive range of solutions that expand capabilities with storage.

The backbone for many of the UK’s leading and household brands and organisations, Whittan’s solutions continue to meet the demand for rigorous and effective storage management for all types of industries and specifications. They are present in warehouses, retail, stores, offices and organisations across industries and sectors – from creating the space to store defence equipment on board a Royal Navy submarine; housing 13.5 million litres of Macallan single malt; protecting Stella McCartney’s couture archives; to providing secure storage lockers for offices, schools and gyms, or storing decades of film reel for the BFI.

Jon Templeman, Whittan CEO, commented on the achievement: “Not many businesses have the durability to last 70 years. Whittan and its predecessor businesses, Link51 and Apex, have demonstrated their resilience and ability to adapt to a changing market over the years.”

As the largest UK manufacturer, Whittan has been at the forefront of changes in the industry. It has also been influential in the development of industry standards, at SEMA in the UK and in Europe, where it has become an increasingly important player since its acquisition of the Permar (now Polypal) business in Spain.

Templeman added: “Our use of technology, and the knowledge and experience of our experts has enabled us to respond to the growing demand for inventive, automated solutions. We have also changed our customer service approach from being product-based to focusing on solutions for customer challenges. However, it has been the commitment and innovation of generations of Link51-Apex-Whittan staff that has enabled the business to thrive. I am confident that this dedication and success will continue.”

As Whittan celebrates seven decades of expanding storage capabilities and maximising opportunities with Link51, it brings an outstanding range of trusted storage brands. These include Link51 and Apex, providing design, manufacture and installation of racking and shelving products; HiStore, for mezzanine floors; market-leading display and storage solutions for retail sectors from Polypal UK and an extensive range of lockers and workplace products from Probe and Link Lockers.

Whittan products are part of the UK legacy showcasing quality in manufacturing. The company is committed to sustainability and is moving towards net-zero. All Whittan products are manufactured locally, keeping them close to installation sites. This cuts down on carbon emissions, delays, cancellations to orders and disruptions to timelines. It also maps against an extensive UK-wide network with experts to help with queries and handle simple to full turnkey environmentally-efficient installations.

In the tradition established in 1951 by James and Peter Kinnear, Whittan continues to bring the power of storage to help businesses large and small, across sectors, with a huge array of storage needs. Throughout, it makes space work harder by providing the most innovative, flexible and future-proof storage solution possible.
