VTG expands its business operations in the tank container logistics sector

- VTG subsidiary VOTG now certified to transport feedingstuffs

- The tank container logistics sector portfolio further strengthened and extended

Hamburg, 22 January, 2014. VTG Aktiengesellschaft (WKN: VTG999), one of the leading wagon hire and rail logistics companies in Europe, has expanded its business operations through its subsidiary VOTG. The company is now authorized to transport feedingstuffs, and has thereby succeeded in positioning itself on an even broader basis in the market. The GMP+ B4 certification ensures full compliance with the strict requirements associated with the transportation of these sensitive goods.

'The transport of feedingstuffs has been growing continuously over recent years. To this end, stringent demands have been placed on transport containers in terms of cleanliness to ensure that products do not suffer any damage. The certification shows that we fulfil these requirements to the fullest extent and that we are also able to respond to ever-increasing customer demands in matters of product cleanliness', says a delighted Heike Clausen, the Managing Director of VOTG. 'We have set up a tank container fleet specifically for this purpose and adapted our quality and transport documentation.'

Transporting products in accordance with the GMP+ guidelines for feedingstuffs has enabled VOTG to extend its product portfolio and reduce the company's dependency on individual product groups. The focus of the business shall remain on the transport of chemical and petroleum products. Instituting the GMP+ systems demonstrates that the company is open to new product types.
