• 1,000 square metres of warehousing space in Belgrade
• Novi Sad is also being expanded
• Increase of the Balkan network

Quehenberger Logistics Serbia opened a freight terminal in the Serbian capital Belgrade in early June. At first it will have a size of 1,000 square metres, which might be increased up to four times as much at short notice. This location is conveniently situated in the northeast on the crossing point international Highway E75 and ring road around Beograd to way Nis. This is why it has an excellent position for any transport to Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo. A major focus will be the logistics services related to warehousing and order picking.

In the existing branch office in Novi Sad, the capital of the province of Vojvodina, Quehenberger is increasing the number of its employees in order to be able to meet the demand for logistics services in the nearby and outlying area of this region. In both Serbian locations the specialist for Eastern Europe offers import/export transport management, customs clearance as well as groupage freight import from Western European countries such as Austria, Germany and Italy.

According to a forecast for the period between 2010 and 2012 the Serbian economy is expected to grow by 3.2 per cent per year on average. There is a huge economic pent-up demand especially for building materials and infrastructures; the low wage level encourages the industrial production of the country.

Quehenberger's expansion in Belgrade and Novi Sad takes account of this trend and contributes to a further development of its own Balkan network thanks to the Serbian commitment. This is what happens by means of the Slovenian branch offices in Ljubljana and Logatec, where the daily groupage freight transportation coming from Austria is distributed to Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Macedonia.
