INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS: INDUSTRIAL GOODS

Supply chain optimisation for the industrial sector.

In the industrial sector we offer specialised logistics solutions for raw materials, industrial products and the production industry. Our services include complete machines, components and spare parts. The industrial sector is becoming increasingly more diverse and complex. The enormous flow of goods must be planned, coordinated, carried out and controlled in an absolutely reliable manner. This concerns, among others, raw materials, chemicals, special materials, highly developed components and large machines. An additional challenge is posed by often remote locations of industrial plants - a decisive factor with regards supply chains. At Geis Group we are highly competent for all these requirements and support you in all the processes of your project.
