Waberer’s new 20,000 square meters logistics center will be built in Debrecen by the second half of next year. Waberer’s has recently completed the purchase of a 57,000 square meters construction site in the eastern Hungarian city.
The transaction will enable Waberer’s to continue its expansion in one of the fastest growing regions in the country. The warehouse complex is designed to meet the logistics needs of the major automotive projects under construction in the Debrecen region and related suppliers, as well as to serve the current customer base in Eastern Hungary.
In its strategy, Waberer’s Nyrt. had decided to expand a nationwide network of warehouse capacities by 2027 in order to reduce its ecological footprint. The new logistics center in Ecser is expected to be handed over in the first half of 2024. It will offer 47,000 sqaure meters of space.
Waberer’s is Europe’s leading logistics company with its own fleet, Hungary’s market-leading complex logistics service provider. The group operates a modern fleet of 2,900 trucks and manages around 250,000 square meters of modern warehouse space. This gives the company the largest logistics capacity in the region.
Majority stake in Petrolsped
Waberer’s International has completed the acquisition of a 51% majority stake in the Petrolsped Group, entering the specialty freight forwarding segment, which mainly relies on rail services. The company announced that it is one of the leading rail logistics service providers in Hungary.
Petrolsped’s dominant position on the market is reflected in the fact that it has been among the top three railroad companies in terms of turnover in recent years. The Group provides rail freight transportation services, mainly in Hungary and Romania, directly and through its subsidiaries Pultrans and PSP Cargo Romania. The company transports agricultural products, raw materials for the construction industry or power plants, petroleum products and vehicles.
Petrolsped is in the final stages of building a state-of-the-art intermodal terminal in southern Hungary. It is expected to form the basis for intermodal transport between the Balkans and Western Europe as early as 2024.
