Belgian Delegation Highlights Strong Links with Bertschi’s European Logistics Network
A Belgian diplomatic and economic delegation led by H.E. Patrick Van Gheel, Ambassador of Belgium to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, visited Bertschi in Dürrenäsch for an exchange on the close economic ties between Belgium and Switzerland and Belgium’s important role within Bertschi’s European logistics network.
The Ambassador was joined by Michelangelo Temmerman, Diplomatic Advisor at the Belgian Embassy in Bern, Luc Fabry from Flanders Investment & Trade, and Terence Zeyer, Senior Investment Advisor representing the Walloon Region.
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to exchange on the strong economic ties between Belgium and Switzerland and on the important role Belgium plays within Bertschi’s European logistics network.
At the Port of Antwerp, in the heart of Europe’s largest integrated chemical cluster, Bertschi operates the AZT trimodal chemical terminal and Plastics Hub. AZT offers 2,500 TEU of container storage capacity, including 1,290 TEU for dangerous goods, as well as steam, warm-water and electric heating and direct connections by rail, barge and truck.
The Plastics Hub provides additional capacity for 2,000 30' box containers and 50,000 tonnes of bulk storage, together with services including container decanting and liner installation.
From Antwerp, Bertschi manages door-to-door supply chains and forward stock locations connecting Belgium with Switzerland and other markets across Europe.
We thank Ambassador Van Gheel and the delegation for their visit and the interesting exchange, and appreciate the opportunity to further strengthen the connections between Belgium and Switzerland.
