ROTTERDAM, Netherlands,
May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
LyondellBasell, a global leader in the chemical industry, is proud
to announce the establishment of a new distribution hub in
Hungary for its polyolefins
grades. This move is part of our ongoing commitment, also
illustrated by the opening of the UK hub in November 2023, to enhancing the customer
experience by placing inventories closer to our customers'
facilities reducing lead times on orders.
This distribution hub in Hungary is an important addition to the
LyondellBasell global footprint. In addition to our existing
distribution platforms, this new hub signifies a significant step
forward in providing our customers with faster access to our
products.
The creation of this new hub in Hungary is the result of a collaborative
effort with logistics expert Maersk, who has a long-standing
reputation for excellence in the field. The hub will be
strategically located in Budapest,
ensuring optimized distribution and swift delivery.
Erik Mezger, commercial manager
Polymers, commented, "LyondellBasell is committed to
delivering exceptional service and that's why we're excited to
announce the opening of a new distribution hub in Hungary. This expansion will mean shorter lead
times and even better service for our customers. Additionally, it
enables us to further leverage our global asset footprint network
so that we can ensure that our customers get the products they
need, when they need them."
"We are proud to support LyondellBasell with a tailor-made
warehousing solution which reduces the lead time for their
deliveries significantly," says Patrick
Hore, global vertical head of chemicals at Maersk.
"Providing decentralized warehousing solutions instead of
distributing out of a single large distribution center across a
whole continent is part of our offering as an integrator of global
logistics. With our growing network of around 470 warehouses across
all continents and our control of logistics assets like vessels,
terminals, aircraft and truck fleets, we are able to offer our
customers more reliable and resilient cargo flows even in
disruptive times."
For more information about this new distribution hub or any
other inquiries, we encourage customers to reach out to their
respective LyondellBasell sales representatives.
