Megacentre for Spices and Herbs Opens
25th April 2024
From anise to cinnamon, Greiwing logistics for you GmbH is extending its service portfolio and focusing more on the handling of spices and herbs. To better meet the increased requirements of the customers, the logistics specialist is expanding its location in the Hamburg Harbour. To that end, the corporate group in the Vollhöfner Weiden has acquired a large 28,000 square metre property and thus has one of the largest logistics centres for spices and herbs in Germany and Europe. 20 employees will work at the new location.. Under the name ‘GREIWING spice logistics for you’, GREIWING as a full-service provider represents a single source for all food logistics services from import processing to value added services to delivery to end customers.
“The handling of spices and herbs requires a high level of expertise and the greatest care. Each product has its own needs and characteristics and requires different treatments. In our corporate group, we have more than 70 years of experience in this field. With the expansion of our services in one of the largest maritime ports of Europe, we see an enormous potential for the extension of our activities in the food sector,” says Jürgen Greiwing, managing partner of GREIWING logistics for you GmbH.
The large 28,000 square metre property is located in Altenwerder in the Vollhöfner Weiden and has more than 40,000 pallet spaces. Due to its close proximity to the container terminals and to Autobahn 7, customers will benefit from the short distances. “With our added location, we quadruple our capacities and thereby offer our customers a broader range of services and dedicated solutions,” says Greiwing.
The scope of services in food logistics primarily includes: de-metallisation, sieving, cleaning and disinfection in autoclaves. Depending on the customer’s wish, thorough processing of all goods is individually possible. Furthermore, Greiwing takes care of the import and export, container trucking, storage, transfer of the goods, and quality control. Both locations are customs bonded warehouses and approved veterinarian locations.
For a uniform appearance under one roof, all services are managed under the existing company name ‘GREIWING spice logistics for you’. Greiwing explains: “This way we create a central touchpoint for new and existing customers and clearly show: We take care of everything!“
