Logistics and transport services provider DB Schenker opened last week a cross-dock terminal in Cluj-Napoca, following a EUR 1.2 million investment.

The new terminal has a total surface area of 10,000 sqm which includes operational areas for cross-docking, warehousing and office space. It operates 6 domestic inbound and outbound groupage lines, 13 international import lines and 3 international export lines, all of them on a weekly basis.

“We continue to develop at national level with such investments in key areas of Romania, and I can surely say that Cluj-Napoca is one of the motors of the country’s economy in Transylvania. We did this investment in order to better serve our existing partners in this region, to consolidate future ones and to meet better the interests of our clients”, said Albin Budinsky, CEO of DB Schenker in Romania.

During the fiscal year 2012, the local subsidiary of DB Schenker – Schenker Romtrans SA – posted a 15 per cent turnover increase y-o-y, totaling net sales of EUR 83 million. The company employed in the past fiscal year 1,115 employees all over the country.

Schenker Romtrans SA operates six branches and more than 60 offices in the country and is Romania’s number one logistics provider, according to company data. In 2013, the company plans to boost its business by adding new clients, increasing the performance and developing further in key regions in Romania, said company representatives.
